I also use the 12 - 50mm a lot especially in the conditions that I dive which is pretty poor and I also have the 60mm macro but this only gets used in really good conditions. Karl

True but changes made to a RAW file are non destructive whereas changes made to a JPEG (regardless of Program) will eventually degrade the image some what - hence one of the reason for shooting in RAW. LR is a cataloguing program with some editing functions whereas PS / PSE are editing programs...

As stated in the other post - it is highly unlikely that you will be able to fit a filter to the lens of the camera and still have room inside the port so you will have to fit it externally to the port. Also just fitting a red filter may not give you the results you are looking for as you need...

Yes you can - just get the latest version of Photoshop Elements (12 or 13 I think) and it will allow you to do all the editing you want and you can even do some basic 'white balance' adjustments if you need to. It is a good simple program to use especially with the JPEG format and it is a lot...

You will enjoy it - a great resort with great dive guides. Unfortunately I don't as I took a whole of images of Nudis and I am still working my way through identifying them. Karl

Some images from my trip in mid Nov to Tulamben, Bali staying at the Liberty Dive Resort. All taken with the OMD EM-5 in a Nauticam housing with twin Sea & sea YS110A strobes with either the 12 - 50mm or 60mm macro lenses. Karl

Nice - didn't get on my recent trip this year but will get there next year. Karl

At LDR it is about $30USD per dive up to three and then $100 USD for four (from memory) - Nitrox is free and you now get a cold drink and water melon when you return after dives. Karl

There is a housing made by Meikon that allows you to use the zoom of the 12 - 50mm - you still can't access macro mode but for the price it looks good - Meikon 40M Waterproof Underwater Camera Housing Case for Olympus OMD EM5 12-50mm Lens | MeiKe Store I have no idea if it is a good housing but...

I knew someone who had one and he did it for me plus one of my mates works in CAD design and his work place has just got one. Here is the post in Wetpixel - Print-it-yourself zoom gear (Oly m.zuiko 12-50mm lens) - Unrequited Gear Lust and DIY Projects - Wetpixel :: Underwater Photography Forums...

Just got back last week from Tulamben and the build up for the wet is starting but no rain just increased humidity and calm seas. Haven't dived there in Jan but my understanding is that it is good apart from the rain which as far as I know isn't as bad in Tulamben because it is in the shadow of...

I use the 12 - 50 all the time for UWP and I have had no issues with it for either focusing or any other and until recently I had it in the standard port for the 60mm macro with some gears I had made with a 3D printer (from Wetpixel) which cost me nothing and it did a vary adequate job. So...

Not really - even if you don't have the Nauticam M77 port it is still a viable lens, you can use it as a zoom lens which does a reasonable job or set it to macro mode for when you want to specifically shoot macro so in some ways it is two lenses in one and is good if you are on a budget...

I have the EM-5 and I shot everything in manual including setting the strobes. For macro I don't really worry about metering I simply choose my F-stop and shutter speed I want and then adjust the power of the strobes as required. For wide angle (I don't do a lot of wide angle) I use spot...

I get there tomorrow for a week staying at LDR. When I was there last year we were the only ones who did the 05:45 am dive - seems things have changed a bit in 12 months. Might stick to doing my first dives at 08:00 am and go from there. Karl

Concur with Liberty Dive Resort - will be back there next Wed for my third time. Karl

I have never seen any sharks other than the odd Port Jackson or the dead ones the fishos kill for fun :confused: in all my dives in Cockburn Sound. Karl

Good report but in regards to TWD Restaurant - there are plenty around there, Komang Warang is just a cross the road and lots of others within walking distance. I stay at Liberty Dive Resort as they have their own restaurant or you can do the short walk into town - about 5 mins downhill and ten...

Go on Brad, you know you want one :D Karl

My mate Brad will be there for a few days after I have left - he is hoping to have a new EPL7 by then but I can't see it happening so he will probably have his EPL1. Karl
