    14-42 mm & 9-18 mm in Olympus PT-EP10

    Ha-ha! I meant that the non-achromatic close-up filter seems not to be that much worse than the achromatic.

    14-42 mm & 9-18 mm in Olympus PT-EP10

    Thanks Storker! Very interesting. I think that the images taken with the cheapo +2 close-up filter are surprisingly good. The reason why I'm interested is that I have two +2 filters, a Hama (non-achromatic) and a Minolta (achromatic). The Hama fits my Olympus 9-18mm lens and the 9-18 mm fits in...

    14-42 mm & 9-18 mm in Olympus PT-EP10

    Storker, please post a link to your flickr stream and tell us which shots were taken with the cheapo +2 filter and good close-up filter respectively.

    14-42 mm & 9-18 mm in Olympus PT-EP10

    I haven't tried it around Gothenburg but have done limited tests in Gullmarsfjorden. As you say, poor vis is the norm, at least during the spring/summer/autumn (I don't dive in the winter any more, did enough of that when I was younger:-) ) so it's mainly close-up and macro for me too.

    14-42 mm & 9-18 mm in Olympus PT-EP10

    Hang on a minute, the guy clearly stated that the image would have been better with a dome port. It may be my computer or my ancient eyes but I can't see a ring of purple fringing all around the fish in the bottom right corner. And the fact that the divemaster looks squashed is certainly at...

    How to connect a fibre-optic cable to a Canon WPDC21 housing?

    I've just bought a little used G9 and new, unused DC21 housing on e-bay as a back-up for my Olympus E-PL5 and Nauticam housing. I want to be able to use one (or possibly both) of my Sea & Sea YS-D1 strobes with the G9 set-up. I already have two L-type fibre-optic cables so just need the black...

    New to UW Photography - lens advice

    As far as I can see, Photoshop Elements 12 does not have a Camera Raw plug-in that supports the TG-3 so the original poster would have to buy Elements 13. This is a pity as new, unregistered versions of earlier PS Elements can often be bought a lot cheaper on e-bay. I got my PS ELements 11 that...

    New to UW Photography - lens advice

    Once you get the hang of it, image editing doesn't take longer than a minute or two per shot. It enables you to rescue images that are mediocre at best or even so poor straight from the camera that you would otherwise delete them. With a decent image editing programme, you will be amazed at the...

    Neoprene port cover (any make) 8cm diameter

    Payment by Paypal. Post to Sweden. I could of course order from one of the usual US sources but their handliong and shipping charges are three times the cost of a new port cover.

    E-PL5 in Nauticam housing and YS-D1 strobes. Why won't my strobes fire?

    I went to the shop this morning and Niklas saw the cause of the problem at once. We had connected the fibre-optic cables to the wrong socket on the strobes, the one intended for connecting an extra strobe. So stupid! Everything is working fine now:-)

    E-PL5 in Nauticam housing and YS-D1 strobes. Why won't my strobes fire?

    Thanks for your help Eskil and jlyle. Unforunately, your advice and suggestions have not solved the problem. However, I have spoken on the phone to one of my clubmates, who works for Japan Foto, the Scandinavian distributor for Olympus and Sea & Sea. He is as surprised and puzzled as we are but...

    E-PL5 in Nauticam housing and YS-D1 strobes. Why won't my strobes fire?

    ---------- Post added November 10th, 2014 at 11:28 PM ---------- No, I mean exactly what I wrote - the camera's internal flash would not fire. I never had any problems with it not firing when I used YS-01's. I want to use the strobes in TTL mode for macro and close-up shots (which is mostly what...

    E-PL5 in Nauticam housing and YS-D1 strobes. Why won't my strobes fire?

    A friend and I spent a very frustrating hour yesterday trying to test my "new" (lightly used) strobes. With the strobes set to TTL, EV +/-0 and each strobe connected direct to the housing by a fibre-optic cable, we tested the following camera settings: aperture varying between 4.5 and 10...
