I have an EM-5 and an EM-1. I'd say if you're interested in birding the EM-1 is the way to go in micro 4/3. It has much more competent autofocus, especially with 4/3 lenses. The biggest hole in micro 4/3 is there aren't any really good long native lenses. There are a couple of consumer grade...

The complete system is sold. Thanks to everyone who expressed interest. Regards, Dennis

According to the Backscatter website it will fit. I am heading off on vacation for two weeks so if you are interested please leave me a message and I'll get back to you when I get back. This port is worth $500 new, so I am looking to get $300 plus shipping for the port c/w covers.

My wife has upgraded to an EM-1, so we're selling her old EPL-2 and associated gear. We are selling off everything except strobes, arms and lenses. This includes: EPL-2 Camera body - Original 14-42 kit lens sold with the body, and a zoom gear. This zoom gear also fits the 9-18 lens, which...

How many divers does Sam's put in each boat? Do they keep each boat in one group, or do they split it up? Thanks, Dennis

Hm, flexible doesn't describe us. Because of my wife's job we need to book vacations at least a year in advance. I guess we either have to accept the crowds or go elsewhere. Thanks for responding. Dennis

I dove on the Palau Aggressor a few years ago, and while the diving was great I didn't really like the crowding. If I recall correctly there were 18 guests diving and the guides tried to keep us herded into one bunch so it was pretty crowded. Maybe I'm anti-social, but this isn't my preferred...

Peter: Is this book available in Canada, especially as an epub? Thanks, Dennis

Well, there's one difference between the Dancer and the Aggressor. We were in cabin 9 on the Palau Aggressor a few years ago and it was like a meat locker. We complained to the ship's engineer a couple of times but he couldn't seem to do anything about it. I would definitely suggest that you...

I hope I'm not hijacking the thread, but what are the advantages of glass over acrylic dome ports? Thanks, Dennis

The EPL2 has shutter priority, aperture priority, fully automatic and fully manual modes. We typically use ours in fully manual mode, but occasionally use aperture priority for wide angle stuff. I don't have an epl3, but I'm sure it is similar. I don't know what the Nauticam housings for the...

First, a disclaimer: I can't back kick. I think there might be something to what he says, but I don't think it has anything to do with fluid mechanics. I think having the two fins pressed together at right angles braces them so they are harder to bend in the upwards direction. If the tip...

We were in La Paz about 2 years ago and we went on one dive specifically looking for hammerheads and we saw 2. The guide said it was pretty hit or miss and that we were lucky to have seen some.

Duck Diver also has a Chatterton video up on UTube of a dive on a U boat that absolutely made my skin crawl. To me this video was tame by comparison. Amazing stuff.

I had the same problem when shooting into the sun. I coloured the letters with a black felt tip pen and it solved the problem.

Phil: I'm sure this question is getting asked a lot, but, have you heard anything on when the 60mm macro port is going to be out? I'm hoping they had a pre-release lens and have already designed the port, but I'm probably wishing too hard. Thanks, Dennis

If you were starting from scratch which wide angle option would you choose to go with the Nauticam housing? It seems like there are the wide angle zooms from Panasonic and Olympus, the 8 mm Panasonic, or the 12 mm Olympus. But to me the 12mm seems like it would be too narrow if it were my only...

Which ops, where? The fact is, as I mentioned in my original post, I have dived in quite a few places without running into this. In fact, I have accumulated 250 dives and only been asked once. So, it sounds like the Keys are probably a no-go zone for me without AOW. Does anyone know of any...

Hmmm, sounds like the same place. :D

My memory of my OW training, dim though it may be, was that without a deep certification we were certified to go to 100'. The 60' limit thing was something I only remember running into after we returned to diving. I may be off base here because it was a while ago. So my recollection more or...
