Hi! Seems I missed some time... I think the housing is not the point. I have an Oly housing. My firmware was 1.2 or even 1.0 at that time... When I came home I did a firmware update. And so far it didn't happen again until now (*knocking on wood*). Best regards

Hi folks! I'd have an E-PL2 with a Oly housing to sell. But I can't find the forum where to post it. I thought I've seen a "buying/selling" thread somewhere but can't find it.... Is it OK to post it here? I guess not. Where? best regards, Zelko

Hi! I had such an issue with my E-PL3 in the Lembeh Strait. I use Olympus batteries and Olympus lenses. I was not able to turn it off under water, only after surfacing replacing the battery worked. I also shoot in manual mode. I suspected some kind of heat problem, but can't confirm it. Looks...

Hi folks! I just saw this (Grip-Stay L II | Stays / Parts | Arms | Line up | SEA & SEA) grip and am wondering if anybody is using it. It looks very good to me and the SA-8 arms look also very promising. The Arm VII from the same company is imo not very useable for the PT-EP housings, since it...

I use the TG-1 during courses in the pool. Usually I just give the camera to (mostly Open Water Diver) students and the pictures shot with the camera look quite OK as long technical image quality is concerned. And my students love it, it's easy to use, they know it. If I pass them my camera in...

Jak, I have a similar issue. My D1 is from June or July this year. And it also starts flashing green/red and does nothing else. First I thought I've used empty NiMH's, but this time I used fresh charged ones (Eneloop XXX). Is your case with S&S finished? If yes, how did it end? BR Zelko

Phil, yes I know, I've done that already :-) It's really easy and in a few minutes done. But I've seen an article describing what has to be done. It had even photos. Unfortunatelly I can't find it... Yes, the Samyang is good for above water. I really like it a lot. But I really don't like...

I have the setup (Samyang 7.5mm and ZEN Dome). The dome needs a little bit of work done to fit to the PT-EP05 housing, but not much. I saw an article about it I believe here in the forum, but can't find it now. You just need to reduce the heigth of the (IMO anyway useless) macro light switch...

Hi! I had the YS-110a and have now since a repair request the D1. I don't have experience with the YS-250, but compared to the 110, the D1 is stronger and gives more light. I liked the three triangular flash tubes from the 110 giving a very even light. I was sceptical at first and couldn't...

Hi! Yes, the same happened to me, only it was the second dive. The battery was not fresh, but still sufficiently charged. My camera was at that moment (approx. one month ago) at the current firmware. My camera was warm, but not really hot. This happened in the Lembeh Strait on a liveaboard, the...

Hi! Yes, I am using it. I just came back from Lembeh and am importing things. I like the PMLA-macro converter, because it fits very nice into the Zen WA port. (I know, I know, I shouldn't do that, with a macro a flat port is better and I gain the 1/3rd... but I admit it, I am lazy at changing...

Hi! I rarely use TTL with my E-PL3 and 110a. Works always although I prefer manual, as I have more control for the two flashes. But TTL works always, although I'd think that it tends to underexpose a bit. I set my flash to "always on", no Auto :-) BR Zelko

Hey dodofish! The YS-110a is definitively a good flash to go. And two of them are better, offering you more creative possibilities. The Nikonos connector is very common, so it should not be a problem in the future to get a cable in the future. And it has a slave connector where you can connect...

Hi! As far as I know there are no known problems with the setup you mention. At least I have not noticed any with mine. But there are some considerations you should be aware of. When shooting in wide-angle mode (~14mm) you receive better results with a dome port (ZEN or Athena or... ). This...

Hi! Thank you very much. This is exactly the kind of answer I expected ("I'd suggest, because...."). Well, I think I'll have to get a ZEN port soon. Although it is quite heavy.... :-) Best regards! Zelko

So from your experience you'd go for the ZEN dome, am I right? Best regards Zelko

Hi community! I am thinking of buying the 8mm panasonic fisheye. In this unsure times money has to be spent as long as a euro has still a good value :D Now I'd like to know if there are differences in the following dome ports and if you have some experiences with them: Athena (mineral glas...

Hi! Congrats to your new toy (I've got my setup similar to yours) also at approx. the same time. As for the flashes: While you're right in many other decisions to stay with Olympus (i.e. flashes for above water) I'd not suggest the UFL-2 for u/w. It is a very good flash and the RC mode is...
