Thanks. As mentioned above, you can go threaded or AD. I recommend AD in an underwater environment. Trying to screw/unscrew a threaded lens can cause you to miss an opportunity and even make you drop the lens. Inon makes AD mounts for a variety of underwater housings. My AD mount cost about $60...

You can use the UWL-100 67mmm thread: INON UWL-100 Achromat Wide Conversion Lens (Type 2) for 67mm Thread #456212143159 which goes with the INON Dome Lens Unit for UWL-100 INON Dome Lens Unit for UWL-100 #456212143165 I have not used those myself, but from the Inon catalog you can go...

Yes, all of them were done with the SP-350. All of them were using either the Inon UFL-165AD fisheye or the UCL-165AD close up lenses. Eddy.

I love my UFL-165AD fisheye. It allowed me to get closer and therefore get better lighting from my strobe. I also use the AD mount which allows me to switch WA to macro lenses under water. Checkout the pix below which I took with the fisheye lens. I'm writing a review of the Inon attachment...

Definitely a resort for diving, you'll get bored if you don't. To leave the resort you have to take a water taxi. See my report below. Eddy.

I have an SP-350 and YS-110 as well. I've been using Targus 1300 mAh CRV3 rechargeables and Lenmar AA 2700 mAh. They last about 2.5 dives with about 80+ pictures. I do have a Heinrichs TTL connector, so that saves juice by not using the internal flash. I also have a ZTS Mini Multi-Battery and...

I just got some Eneloop batteries myself for an "old school" Nikonos SB-105 strobe. They worked beautifully. The SB-105 will not work with 2700 mAh rechargeable batteries. These are the batteries that I was using on a S&S YS-110. I believe older equipment has issues with higher ampere batteries...

It is very well worth-it dive, I did it from CCV last year. Here is a report and videos: Eddy's Scuba Blog - Post details: My First Shark Dive YouTube - Shark in a Bucket YouTube - Swimming among Sharks Eddy.

I just posted a refinement of my SP-350 settings post Cathy Church Photo School and Jack and Sue Drafahl's Digital Photo Adventure: Eddy's Scuba Blog - Post details: Refining Settings on the Olympus SP-350 On the site, if you hit the "Cathy Church" category on the right side, you will more...

I just posted a review of the Digital Photo Adventure offered by Jack and Sue Drafahl in Bonaire. It includes: - Review of Captain Don's Habitat, Bonaire - Lots of tips, photo notes, lecture notes during the Digital Photo Adventure week. This is a week-long uw-photo seminar, workshop and...

Hmm ... good to know ... I bought mine strictly online, so I had no such problems. This was my backup camera, so I knew what I was getting. The camera arrived fine. For advise and service, I tend to rely on uwphoto.com (Fred) or reefphoto.com (Ryan). But sometimes, they don't have the...

I got my second SP-350 from Trusted Dealer: Trusted Dealer - Power By Blueswitch Although I was able to get it for about $240 about 6 months ago. It's now listed for over $300 now. You can still get the housing from Amazon for about $180: Store - Underwater Photography Eddy.

I just posted some notes on my settings for the Oly SP-350: Eddy's Scuba Blog It also includes some notes on the Digital Photo Adventure week with Jack and Sue Drafahl. Enjoy, Eddy.

Ditto for CocoView, I would go back in a flash. Their dive operation is one of the best I've seen. See my report below ... Eddy.

Glad you found it useful, let me know if you'd like to see anything more ... Next stop ... Captain Don's, Bonaire ... tommorrow :) Stay tuned ... Eddy.

Yes, indeed the food was plentiful, tasty and varied. They also had snacks in the afternoon, like sandwiches and cookies. There's no real "town" in Roatan that you can go easily, you would have take the water taxi to get out of the resort and a taxi from there. When we were there we just...

I finally finished my trip report of CocoView Resort: http://purpleink.us/blogs Included in the report: - In depth report of CocoView - Waikuha shark dive - Seahorse sightings - Aerial scout of the island with hydroplane Enjoy, Eddy.

I ruined a TTL connector while unscrewing it from the housing while there was water on the connector threads. The water sipped it and the connector got corroded. Now I learned to unscrew the connector with the camera upside down (connector facing down). That way if there's any water it will...

Thanks for the reply. I have a buddy who flooded his Nikonos camera and is thinking of switching to digital. I suggested him to get the SP-350 with a Heinrichs connector and keep his Nikonos strobe. Good to know that there are others doing the same. If I have the chance, I'll try a Nikonos...

Having a "Nikonos 5-pin" cable with my SP-350 and PT-030 (with Heinrichs TTL connector) lead me to do a bit of research into the Nikonos SB105 strobes. Has anybody tried the SP-350 with a Nikonos strobe? They don't make strobes with a guide number of 33 anymore, like the Nikonos. That's...
