Got all the stuff, now what to do with it...

8080, ike housing, DS125 w/TTL sync cable.

Set up for macro, starting at f8 and 1/50th. ISO 80

Thoughts on settings? I am in the water at 7am

My last camera was far simpler and I still had a steep learning curve. We shall see how this one fairs.

I did buy flood insurance on this one today and waited for my confirmation eyebrow


PS

Good God this thing weighs a ton. I am going to put my 4040 housings double handle on it.

I'd start at 1/200 or higher, not 1/50. I wouldn't want such a light background on my macro shots and I can't think of many macro situations where such a slow shutter is really going to benefit. On my Oly I often shot at really high shutters to knock out all of the backgroun distraction.
