    Nikon annoucnes the D300

    Forget about the previous cameras, they all meant to be "transitional", the FF era has finally come. Starting from D3, all the models following the series will be using the FX format. Some slides for the presentation: http://e-photographia.smugmug.com/gallery/3354617#P-1-9

    Mixing strobe arms brands?

    "...making your own clamps is a bit harder..." that's the exact stmt... A lot of clamps look alike but when it comes to function... that's why I recommended ULCS I still think that many manufacturers are capable of making good clamps, just, if they are willing to go for that extra mile.

    DIY wet mount lens?

    I have seen two types of mount related to your DIY project, 1. I saw some red filter being sold in dive shops, they are embedded in some plastic caps, people just mount it outside the housing like those soft lens cap. 2. Like what many of you have mentioned, something similar to these...

    Kudos to UK lights

    Hey, blackfish, sorry to hear about that. Some of the threads here suggested that there are some battery contact issues (works better for certain batteries) then the new Cannon is using different bulb. Have you ever consider the solutions?

    DIR (HOG) harness question

    I agree with the majority "if you don't need, don't use it"; however, for myself I am not following DIR all the way. The shoulder pads to me, is not so useful UW, rather it's for on land. Again, it's a 100% correct if you follow the DIR and other experience users, but for myself, I added it...

    Mixing strobe arms brands?

    Try the ULCS clamps with ULCS arms/10bar arms, then try the 10bar clamps with ULCS arms/10bar arms, try to lock the arms tight with the clams and you will see why. Why don't you try it and tell us what you find out? :)

    Mixing strobe arms brands?

    Aside from what has been mentioned, ULCS clamps and 10bar arms. BTW, pls stay away from 10bar clamps.

    What to buy first a BC or Reg?

    I think in general don't buy anything when you're not ready -- cannot decide what to buy and when to buy, wait until you know you need it and you're ready. Esp besides the basic gear -- mask, fins, snokel and wet suit. Other equip aside from the basic gear, if you get a chance, try different...

    Would that work? [Fuji e900 + Nikon SB600 Flash]

    Jack, I read that Scuba Diving magazine and the June issue there was an article about tips for using strobe with point and shoot. Maybe it's written by someone on the board? Anyway, there were two strobes mentioned for dc, Sea & Sea Ys027DX and SeaLife Digital Flash. Besides, if Mystic...

    When you use PayPal

    If Paypal is under eBay and both eBay and Paypal cannot offer protection as a credit company can do, they should not continue. Paypal told me, they have credit card type of service with more protection, so, it's not like they do not know. I think the reason why they know that the system has...

    Any particular preference, bobf?

    When you use PayPal

    I was surprise too. I don't gain any benefit from the thread. Still, I believe that it's important to let people know and let them decide. Before the bad experience, I believe that "people have problems with online shopping" is bogus, or, it would never happen to myself. After that certain...

    Inon D-2000 vs D-2000S

    I would vote for 2000 instead of 2000S, because the price difference is small compare to that 1 shot experience. I may not want to get Z-240 because of that 4 in Guide Number value (meaning 2000 is having GN 20 and Z-240 is 24).

    Inon D-2000 vs D-2000S

    Ah, thanks, more clear now. So the slave strobe can be used as a manual strobe. Also, I noticed that typo when I read it too, just I wanted to keep the full quote. The question becomes, if I need a manual strobe, does it has to be Inon 2000S? I believe that there are many other manual strobes...

    Inon D-2000 vs D-2000S

    I knew that 2000S is a slave strobe, then I did a simple compare between 2000 and 2000S: The difference for 2000S comparing to 2000 is the Auto Exposure... and I found some comments related: "Some strobes have be designed with an integrated 'auto sensor' to aid the user in determining...

    fuji f31fd + ike housing or fuji and Inon strobe

    The original housing, WP-FXF30 for F30/F31fd, works pretty well for me: http://www.amazon.com/Fuji-WP-FXF30-Underwater-Housing-Digital/dp/B000G644IM In terms of power, I think Z-240 is comparable to D200 and D-2000 is comparable to D125. http://www.digitaldiver.net/strobes.php e.g. look at...
