A couple of weeks ago I mentioned in a thread someone started about Reefnet SubSee macro adapters that I'd post some pics from my new adapter when I got back from Bonaire. Sadly enough, I am back (WAAHHHH...). Anyway, I was using the SubSee on my also new Canon G10 w/ the Canon housing and a (yeah, new) Sea & Sea YB110 Alpha strobe. (Sheesh, all that newness, it's a wonder I could still dive.)
Anyway, it all worked. And despite the newness, things went well. Couple mentions. Having just gotten back (WAAHHH...) I haven't done any post-processing on these and they are small files as well. (Well ok, I did run a slight Levels correction on the Christmas Tree shot.) No sharpening, no cropping (except as noted on the blennie). And these are from the jpegs, not the raw files. I'm only mentioning all this because "right out of the box" things worked and I'm pleased with the outcome. Haven't had time to look at the complete "take" yet but I am very pleased w/ how the SubSee worked out.
If you have any questions fire away, will check back as I can. I'm not posting to impress anyone (as if...) but simply because of ALLthe help I've gotten on SB from this and other Forums. If any of my exeriences can help, that's cool. I would like to thank EJ Bali who posted a thread a few months ago about the Sea & Sea strobes that NYNEX has on eBay and also thank NYNEX too--the strobe and arm setup worked great. Oh, and I should thank Keri Wilk of ReefNet for all his help in cobbling up an adapter for the Canon housing on practically a moment's notice and for answering all my questions (even if he still won't listen to Ian Tyson). Thanks all!
