    Upgrade from RX100ii to A6X00?

    I'm currently shooting an RX100ii with an UWL-04 wet lens and single Sea & Sea YS-01 strobe. I'm considering whether to upgrade for an upcoming trip this summer. I only dive a few times a year, so I'm trying to keep the budget reasonable. I love the wet ultrawide lens and usually do most of my...

    Hawaii Dive with the RX100 II

    Here are some images from a boat dive on Oahu taken with my RX100 II. This is with the Acquapazza and the Fix UWL-04 ultrawide wet lens attached. I am using a single strobe at the moment, a Sea & Sea YS-01. I'm contemplating adding a second strobe for better coverage and more even lighting. I'm...

    Kraken KRL-02 wet lens for RX100 III-V

    I just saw Kraken released a new lens KRL-02 designed for compact cameras that start at 24mm instead of 28mm like most wet wide angles. Anyone have any info on this lens other than what's on the couple of retailers I see carrying it? Seems like a good option for the RX100 III-V series which...

    Hawaii diving with the RX100 II

    I thought I'd share some of my favorite images from a boat dive in Hawaii (Oahu). Recent storms had kicked up particles, but I still had some fun diving (better visibility than Monterey anyways!). These were shot with the RX100 mark II in Acquapazza housing, Fix UWL-04 fisheye m67 lens, and a...

    Olympus E-PL1 Underwater Camera System

    I'm selling my Olympus E-PL1 & underwater housing setup because I'm switching over to another camera for underwater. I've had this kit for 2 years (I bought it new from Adorama, I believe), and I've used it on about 8 dives. I never used outside of the case, since I have a different primary...

    Fix UWL-28M52 or iDas UWL-04 fisheye lens for RX100 I/II?

    I was looking at both the Fix UWL-28M52 or iDas UWL-04 for my RX100ii setup. They look very similar, and even possibly made by the same manufacturer? Looks like the UWL-28M52 is slightly smaller. Is there a preference for either? Or are they basically the same? Looks like both of these can be...

    Most affordable way to "go wide" the RX100?

    Hi all, I've been thinking about the RX100 series and how it's a pretty affordable, but capable UW camera. I've been shooting with an Olympus E-PL1 + 9-18mm in a flat port for a while now, but to really get the best out of that lens I'd need to add a semi-dome. So now I'm thinking about how the...

    E-PL1 upgrade to E-PM1

    Hey guys, quick question for those of you who have upgraded from an original E-PL1 to one the newer Olympus models, even specifically the E-PM1. Is it worthwhile to make the change? What about the controls of the E-PM1 underwater? (better or worse?) What are the difference in the housings? I...

    Diving with sharks and the Olympus E-PL1

    I recently picked up the E-PL1+housing combo and had a chance to try it out in Grand Bahama. The results were great, so I thought I would share a few. I don't have a strobe, so these were all taken without flash. It's nice to finally shoot in RAW underwater though! For the shots below I used...

    SeaLife DC800 8MP underwater camera with box and all accessories

    I'm selling my SeaLife DC800 camera kit. I'm the original owner, and it was used about once every two years on vacation dives. The camera and housing are still in great condition overall, never had a leak. The housing shows some light scratches from just normal use. The o-ring is in great...
