    Gear Labels

    Can anyone recommend a source for adhesive equipment labels, preferably one that ships internationally? www.divinglabels.com appears to have gone out of business, and Amazon wants ~US$75 (and two months' lead-time) for a single sheet of labels Thanks in advance!

    Macro with an EPL-9 / EPL-10?

    Does anyone have experience shooting macro with an EPL-9 or EPL-10? I'm using (and happy with) a TG-5 with an Oly strobe and housing. I'd like to upgrade to a larger sensor and more manual control, and have been offered an EPL-9 and AOI housing at an attractive price. Thanks in advance!

    I have prescription lenses (-4.00) for my mask and a set of Aqua-Optics gauge-readers (+2.00). The instructions for the Aqua-Optics state that they should be installed flat-side down inside the mask. But the surfaces of the prescription lenses are concave, so the Aqua-Optics can't bond...
