Well,
I made it to Bonaire last week, had a WONDERFUL time!!! Great people to dive with from LDS "about 20 of us went including my Fiancee" The diving was great BUT I had bought a 35mm camera to use for the trip, a cheaper one. Sea and Sea MX-10 with YS 40 strobe and Macro lense, wide angle lens, and close up lens. The camera seemed to work flawlessy and I took a total of 6 rolls of underwater photos. I got back to the states and took the film to the developer. Well my heart was broken he said that only one roll "the first one I took" actually had pictures and the other 5 were blank and that nothing was on the negatives. Can't understand it BUT thats another fish to fry. I have decided at this point I'm going digital just not sure which model to get. Any one have any suggestions? Are the Sea and Sea and SeaLife brands good or are you better off buying a quality camera and a seperate underwater case from Ikelite or someone? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I looked on the photography Forum and did not see much info other than cameras for sale there was not a general forum.
Thanks
David
