great pics. You have good depth of field. What f-stops were you using?

Received mine Monday, played with it yesterday on my PL2. I noticed that when moving the selector to 1:1 (not just limiting it to 0.4M), it would still hunt in autofocus. Depending on the light and shooting conditions, I often had more success selecting 1:1 and switching to manual focus. I...

I started with a Canon A620 using interal flash only. Still my backup camera. Limited success on my first trip. Then I put in the effort to get better photos Two things that really improved my photography were getting an external strobe (sea and sea ys-27) and learning how to use the camera...

Is the stock port for the EPL-5 the same as for the EPL2? Would this 60mm Macro and focus gear work in my EPL2 housing?

I am looking to "go pro", most likely in Thailand. I am open water and have about 280 dives. Any areas/IDC programs/internships you all would recommend. I will likely spend at least 3 months there. Koh Tao seems to be the best bang for the buck. The programs/internships at both Crystal Dive...

I also use a Dyron +7 with E-PL2 and focusing has not been a issue for me, assuming neither the camera or subject are moving much. Strange.

I stayed with a group at El Galleon in 2011 and was quite impressed with their operation. Diving was well organized and the food good and plentiful. The poolside rooms are smallish, but you will not spend much time in them. At the time I think they were the only dive op with a pier, so you...

I too have had this problem with ribbon eels and frogfish and I do not have a solution. Real shame we cannot share such cool creatures. These things are really black, black-hole black, no light comes back. For those who catch the reference, the following quote is most appropriate: "How...

For whomever can help. How far is Oslob from Moalboal. I will in Moalboal for about 10 days starting May 2nd. Would that be a reasonable day trip? Would it be too far for a boat from Moalboal? Would I have to take ground transport. Thanks, Mike

I will be at Kasai Village in moalboal from May2-12th?, the up to Malapascua for 4-5 days diving there.

Thanks, Did you get to Pescador Island? Were the sardines back?

Great pics. I am headed to Moalboal in 3 weeks. When did you go? Were the sardines back at Pescador Island? I use an E-Pl2. What were you setting for the waterfall and pigmies? Thanks Mike

I am SERIOUSLY considering a 6 month Go Pro internship in the Philippines. I may even retire there within a year or two. I will be visiting both Moalboal (Kasai Village) and Malapascua (Thresher Shark Divers) in May. At such time I will get many questions answered. Assuming an equal quality...

Looking to find something for a friend, I ran across this Bonica SONY DSC-W350 w/Housing, G8-B Strobe, Travel Bag You would need to look at the specs of the camera and the strobe, but it is a complete system for $650. Please note that I have no affiliation with that company, nor have I...

price?

A few months ago I did exhaustive research to find a good "low cost" focus light use with my Oly Epl2. Here are the winners: I-torch plus led (red plastic body)) from dive gear express $84 and Intova MINI wide, available at leisure pro, about $70 You can look up the specs. I purchased...

Somebody please help me understand the following. The panasonic 45mm macro lens requires a shorter port that the 14-42mm kit lens, so it is a shorter lens in terms of physical dimensions. Will the upcoming Oly 60mm macro for the M4/3 be longer, shorter, or in between the the two aforementioned...

Phil, I have a question about ports. I have an E-PL2 with Olympus housing and, cost permitting, would like to get this upcoming 60mm macro. Any chance Zen or somebody else will produce an (don't know what to call it) ""extender" that would go between the stock port and the housing, thus...

Does the Zen flat port allow access to the switch limiting minimum focus distance or allow you to manual focus? Does one need a focus/zoom ring to use with the housing? Is manual focus even possible? I have read that the autofocus can be rather slow at the macro end.
