HI Guys, I know this is an old thread but just watched a video on focus lights and macro and thought it might interest a couple of you.

Hi all, watched a Utube video and the guy was talking about macro photos with a 5600k torch held just about the object. He only did macro out of the water but had some good ideas. Just wonder if this is a thing! Has anyone here tried this and any pics? PS should this be in lighting?

I used the PPO-EP01 Lens port with both the 60mm and the 30mm with no issue of vignetting. I find the use of the limiter (as tursiops suggested) handy, it is good when it grabs but at least it stops the grinding from 1:1 to infinity and back again. Still takes practice.

That's right Bill but my understanding is that it triggers strobes wirelessly ie Radio Control.

In looking around the net for some great shots with the 90mm I watched this review . I think it will be great if you are an excellent operator but I will stick with my 60 so I can grab the occasional fish shot.

Thanks Wolfgang, that's exactly what I wanted to know.

Hi Guys, I can pick up an almost new EM1 Mk3 at a good price. Are there any advantages UW?

Hi Wolfgang, just to clarify I did use the grease supplied with the Inon as I was aware of the issue.

No thanks and NO!

I have been using SnS for about 25 years and never pinched an o'ring. Someone above mentioned re Inon 'don't grease them' which is what I did. I did flood one a SnS in the Maldives in 2010 as I didn't close it properly and watched it come off on ascent, washed it, dried it and used it for...

So you are saying INON is bulletproof providing you check the o'ring in the semi transparent lid. I get it, nothing like a marketing dept solution to poor design. It must be very hard to design a strobe where the battery dept is waterproof....Tell SnS they must be geniuses.

Just before covid I bought an Inon Z330 because of all the good reports I read. I have always used SnS but I went ahead. On about the 10th dive I put new batteries in and screwed it down, the O'ring pimched onto the cover and leaked, was told it would be OK so I washed the battery compartment...

I found that many of my shots are not 1:1 and I am cropping images. As I said in the entry I struggled to get the lens to 1:1 in an out of the water test set on 0.19-inf.

luckily I have rarely used the 60 for anything apart from macro so I will go with the restricted focus and see how it goes. The number of shots I have taken with the 60 that are not at 1:1 when they should have been is more of an issue for me than the occasional fish shot. I didn't realise how...

I assembled it when it arrived and apart from 4-5 attempts to get the adapter to start on housing thread it went on tightened up at the right spot - I didn't expect that. Then the Inon 165 screwed onto the flip adapter easily and all seems fine. Maybe they had a lot sent back and fixed the...

HI, Bought the NiteSuba flip which looks OK. Also bought Inon UCL-165 which is a +6. Will be interesting to see how it goes on my next dive trip.

The only thing to consider is that flashes go on whilst cameras and houses and sometimes lenses don't. I have used a sea and sea manual flash and OK but you get more output plus TTL is getting better and a decent flash will allow you to go there ie the MF2 Head is suggesting.

I did some testing with my 60mm yesterday just around the property and I was surprised. With the lens set to 0.19 ~inf I had trouble getting the lens into 1:1 but it easily went to 1:2. When I changed the setting to 0.19~0.4m I had a much easier time getting to one to one. I suggest based on...

Thanks for the hint it's a fingered dragonet. Dactylopus dactylopus.

I looked through some of my old ORF files and realised I have had this problem from time to time and not known what caused it. So thanks a lot for your answer.
