The camera and housing have to go

[pakman]

Larry, wanna buy my S&S...


I want that new Seatool 400D housing...

edit: BTW, what happened? did someone make fun of that small screen in PG or something?

 

[Hammerhead]

Actually Mike, if you're serious, I'll take you up on that...

 

[pakman]

Actually, Larry I wasn't serious... wahaha... j/k

A month ago I probably would have bought but since I'll be out of commission for a couple of months shortly, I'm going to wait and see what fall brings as successors to the D30 and D200.

Of course, if someone would come out with a housing, I'd grab the Pentax 10D in a second.

Good luck with the new rig.

as luck would have it (and with a bit of help from a lovely chap on Wetpixel) I have managed a little modification to the 350D housing and - I'm happy as a clam about this - it fits the 400D!!!

test the dome to ensure the alignment is OK.

Will do tonight, been a bit busy buying a car over here for a run-around.

 

[pakman]

a car in Macau? what for? to make early morning runs to Didi's?

Sarky bugger.

It's a HK$50 trip each way in and out of the office from where I live on Taipa, but I'm seriously considering heading to the far end of Coloane for the peace & quiet. That'll set me back $200 / day in taxi fares.

Add to that the unscheduled site visits, difficulty of getting a taxi (population up 50,000 in 3 years; 30 more taxis in 3 years), and general convenience factor, no contest.

Bought an old 2.4 Mazda M6, still nippy and fun.

Hehehe, Well I have to sympathize with you... that bugs the heck out of me when I visit Macau... the lack of taxis??
