    Glad you housing fits well! $100 seems to be worth it for a non modified design. ....Now you mention it i do remember reading something about the eraser idea. I'll certainly look into that. Thanks for letting me know.

    Yep, I'm pretty sure the buttons are hard to push because the camera is too far forward. You can do a quick test to see how much the camera moves around. Look inside (down) the lens tube when you turn on the camera. Do you see the whole lens shift down and to the right? On my model that's...

    Im 99% sure you do not have zoom the 18mm from what i remember. Sorry, i just shot with it once before i moved on to other lenses. Did you mean the M67 Wide Angle lens? I dont think the pancake has any magnification factor or ability to focus closely but the 24mm CZ lens might benefit from a wet...

    I've looked into this and done lots of measurments of lenes and the housings (documented on DP Review). The lens tube length doesnt match up well with anything but the pancake (short barrel housing). Whats needed is to cut the long housing lens tube and build a port base that will accept other...

    Also if your shooting close focus wide angle your strobes will be pointed too far to the side and not be able to pick up the OB flash. When you consider all the other things you have to worry about (on level, very close, in focus, correct appeture, sun at your back, light metering, strobe...

    What I DO NOT get - is the "wireless" setup of the INON S200 - how does that work? Each strobe has it's own built-in light sensor? Yes the new strobes have something like a sensor which sees the light from the OB flash and then fires. Thats what i was talking about in my previous posts that...

    What lens were you thinking about using for macro? I think the only cantidate is the 24mm Ziess. I am fairly certain (99.9% sure) the 30 macro is to short to use as there is too much distance between the end of the macro lens and the outside of the housing so by putting a diopter on it you would...

    What are your ideas about using the 67mm thread? From the pics attached it shows not to have any. I think i can help you guys out a bit as i did tons of research and testing about all of this. I posted the info on DP Review. it starts getting good around the bottom of page 5...

    Sorry I have been away for a while. For those pics I used the on-board flash and the 24mm Zies or 30mm Macro lens with a Nauticam tray. (The tray is awesome btw and highly recommended). I only got to get in 3 dives with the housing with 2 being shallow ~40ft and 1 being deep ~ 100. I shot only...
