Nice shots! My next investment is def. either the 7-14mm panny or the 8mm fisheye and a dome..

I'll double check my Lightroom settings when I get home from work, maybe I've actually configured it to include Exif. Nitrox is fixed at 32% I'm afraid. They do technical training at Shagra though so I'm sure they can facilitate other gas mixes but I guess they will charge you a bit for it.

No worries! The Exif info is done automatically, I don't think I used to get it automatically from Lightroom with my Canon RAW-files but when I had that camera I had an older version of the software. Nitrox is available at all camps for €2,5 per tank. There are also bigger 15 liter tanks that...

I exported the raw files to jpg using Lightroom 4. I'm happy to share my experiences with Red Sea Diving Safari. In the last 15 months my girlfriend and I have been diving with them at all 3 of their camps: Marsa Shagra, Marsa Nakari and Wadi Lahami. We always stay in the chalets with our own...

Just want to thank everyone here (and at Wetpixel) for all the advice on my recent OMD purchase. Here are some photos from my first dive trip with the new rig (I'm still very much learning and I'm nowhere near the skill of many people on these forums but it is a fantastic underwater camera). All...

Hi again Mario. Another question - is your UWL 100 one of the older or newer versions? The newer version has some claim about being optically better but it is much more expensive and I have a hard time fining comparative reviews whether or not this is the case. I believe the new version is...

Thanks buddy! Appreciate that.

Mario! My rig is coming together quite well but still undecided regarding the UWL-100. Have you had a chance to take it diving some more? Would love to see more photos.

Thanks Mario! I have the Austrian zoom gear so I wouldn't have to lock the lens at 14 and it would definitely give me some extra angle on the wide side then. Most interesting.

Very interesting! Culd you estimate how much wider you get at 14mm + uwl compared to 12mm behind flatport? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Thanks Guy! (and Storker!) I more or less knew this in the back of my head, I just needed someone to tell it to me like I was still in school. The 12-50 will be a perfect starting point in building my OM-D rig for the type of shooting I do. Mind settled :)

Thanks for the reply Joti. Yes I'm looking a lot at wetpixel (great forum) I'm sure I've seen one or two photos @12mm behind a flat port but then the photo will not reveal what lens has been used and the headline says "OM-D with 9-18, 12-50, and 60mm macro". The few photos I've found that states...

I'm having a hard time finding sample uw photos of the 12-50 in a flat port at the widest 12mm mode. I am more or less set on getting the 65 macro port and Austrian gear + Subsee but if a Manta shows up on a dive (going to the Red sea in June) I want to make sure I can get the shot. I realize it...

Thanks for the reply Mario! I am thinking about going with the 4" semi-dome and the austrian zoom-gear and a +10 subsee diopter. This means good WA and good Macro, the rig wouldn't excel at either but absolutely be a "jack of all trades"..

All this info is making it even harder for me :). I am now torn between 3 options (all options are with the Nauticam housing): A: 12-50 with the Austrian zoom gear and 4" semi dome with subsee +5 or +10 in a flip diopter. This will be a versatile set-up with better WA but I am worried that the...

To all of you who helped me out in my previous thread, thank you again! This board really makes investment decisions so much easier. When researching the 12-50 mm lens for the OM-D there is a lot of talk about macro wet lenses but I can't seem to find any relevant info regarding WA wet lenses...

Sorry I think I was a bit unclear, I will if I buy the OM-D get the port and zoom gear for the 12-50 mm, I just wanted to get an idea how wide the 12 mm will be without a dome (compared to a compact 28mm with a dome). Realize it's a tricky question but just want to get a ball park figure :)...

Just my luck I guess :(.. ---------- Post added April 13th, 2013 at 06:41 AM ---------- ---------- Post added April 13th, 2013 at 06:43 AM ---------- So, I'm still torn between getting the E-PL5 with a Oly housing and 60mm macro lens plus 9-18mm lens + ZEN WA-100 dome port as opposed t o...

Thank you Gareth, very good and logical reasoning. I've had 2 Sea & Sea strobes and have handled both with extreme care and attention to maintenance but somehow managed to flood both, so switching to Inon feels like the right thing to do (hoping for better luck there :)). The more people like...

Hi guys! I have been searching around the forums and there are so many good threads however my problem is that there is almost too much information. I've been shooting underwater for about 5 years and being a real geek when it comes to my hobbies I think I am learning to take some decent...
