Hi all!
I've decided it was time to upgrade from my gopro and get a bit more serious about my photography/videography. I have just purchased the following setup second hand from a diver who was unfortunately injured:
Olympus EPL-2 with 14-42 lens
Olympus EPL-3 with 2x14-42 lenses
1x45mm Leica macro lens.
Video stuff:
Olympus housing with grips and a std port as well as a Zen dome port,
two I-Torch video pro4's.
Stills/macro stuff:
Olympus EPO5L housing with a full Nauticam grip set and std port with Zen 45 macro port also.
The Zen port comes with a Nauticam swing in/out wet diopter mount
and +10 Subsee, +5 Subsee and the new +10 Inon compact wet diopters.
Focus light is a LaLuz800
3x Inon S2000 strobes with f/o
1x brand new S&S YS-D1 strobe with f/o.
1x Inon snoot set for the S2000 strobe.
Dyron plus 8 wet lens
a whole bunch of arms, claps, floats, etc etc
4x sets of Eneloop batteries to include.
So thats hats a fair bit of gear, all of which I'm completely unfamiliar with but looking forward to learning about.
Any advice or tips? Should I get the housings serviced to begin with? Any issues with the above configurations? Any advice on where to start learning about the gear? I'm planning on practicing with the macro stuff dry first, and then in a pool before diving with it. But I'm just wondering if any of you more experienced photographers have any configuration-specific advice or tips here.
thanks heaps!
