    lumix LX10 settings

    I decided to go with the LX10 after balancing all the features compared with the Sony RX100MV and the price of the camera...The Sony was $450 more and I couldn't justify the price for that. So after playing with it for a few days the answer to your questions - which I was concerned about after...

    Choices..? RX100 VI, Lumix LX100 II, or Lumix LX10 (15), or old RX100 II?

    I can't take a big set-up with me on next trip in Sept so looking for compact replacement... I hunt out supermaco, and comfortable with razor thin DOF. Not really excited with WA, but like flexibility in getting all of Manta in one shot... Have two UCL-165 to stack, arms with YS-D2's, focus...

    Experience with magnetic lense mounts

    I love them. I bought three sets along with a SABA double flip so I have enough pieces to mix and match whatever I need. I have two Inon UCL165 (I think?) and have threaded one onto the Saba so I can flip it down the other one has the magnet attachment. I stack them magnetically and have shot...

    Sadly, the time has come...

    Thank you everyone for your input! The photo has almost sold me and I will only need a Womens Med...! I carry my drysuit on board as its the most important pc of gear; in reality everything else can be rented, but I can't dive wet... Thanks!

    Sadly, the time has come...

    Thank you for the suggestions, I had a look at the Rofos, but at 3 kg its way too heavy...carry on restrictions EU-Asia are 5-7kg, checked bags at 15-20kg so every thing adds up.. I will look again at the DUI, I'd been considering it a while ago, but then the Fusion came out...I can't find a dry...

    Sadly, the time has come...

    It is time for me to accept that it's time for me to start looking for a new drysuit. My Whites Tropical Explorer has served me well but it has reached the point where there is more AquaSeal, and a variety of patching materials inside than original material. For the last three years it has been...

    Miflex vs Phantom Double Braided Kevlar

    OK, Stakanak, I'm not afraid of your hoses! Even the little, bitty ones you guys keep bragging about…:crafty: I'm putting together a travel kit and am very interested in the Miflex hoses. I'm getting an Apeks Flight, and with the AI Vyper Air, am waffling on the SPG for redundancy. I want...

    More ?'s re: fiber optic cable to housing attachment

    My $0.02... I had exactly the same issue with my Ultramax...I found that not only the Cable grommets are not necessarily misaligning themselves, or the cable popping out (BOTH certainly happen regularly, ALWAYS discovered after the shot is taken and the strobe doesnt fire...) but the ring itself...

    How to shim the camera?

    Too bad you paid full pop for your housing, I have one for sale! Flooded cam, 100% user error! But yes, my zoom was 'sticky' in that it stuck too far 'out' and the U-shaped zoom control would not be able to move back and forward properly. I ended up using the knob and the contacts 'outside'...

    Inon S2000 vs SS YS-01

    I'm trying to put together a new set-up and need some 'devils advocate' help between the InonS2000 and the new Sea & Sea YS-01. This set up will need to be idiot-proof, as I wont be the only one using it, and it most likely not be moving to a new DSLR system in the near future. Maybe one day...

    New and looking for a good powershot!

    I picked up the 980 as a replacement for my flooded SD880. I havent used it U/W, but I absolutely loved the quality of the 880. Even the SD video was great. I can only imagine what the HD video on the 980 would be like... That being said, the 980 is going back... The quality of the photos is...

    SX200 dilemma..or? from SD880

    After an 'incident' last week in Exuma, I am faced with the task of putting together a new cam/housing setup the old Ike stares at me, weeping... I tried replacing the SD880 with an SD980 yesterday, but the buttons are so small and fiddley that I couldnt stand more than 10 min of test...

    Is Jamaica really that bad?

    We have just returned from Jamaica, and I was very surprised with the diving... I cannot comment on the country itself, as it has changed a lot in the 20 yrs since I 'saw' it last. This time was strictly a relaxing vacation...a surprise 40th birthday gift from my DH! So, I was just happy to...

    Serious Problem at Big Bay Point

    Ive been to The Morrison a couple of times before.. is this different? Ive never seen a dock, and GHD seems to be really bent out of shape about diving around docks...fair enough...but as we march over the rocks with our gear, or down the beach by the fountain there is no 'dock' between the...

    Need help understanding housing/strobe compatibility for Canon SD880 IS....

    I just got back from Roatan with my 880 in an Ikelite housing..It is much more robust than the Canon housing... In Feb I had the 880 in the Canon housing - it lasted 3 dives before the latch cracked. It is taking some getting used to the controls, the zoom is 'touchier'; the control does not...

    Tray Mount Screw thread?

    I have searched and Googled to no avail.... The short end to a long, sad story finds me needing to use a non-Ikelite strobe with my 6240.88 housing (for Canon SD 880IS) Can anyone tell me what the Thread in the housing to mount the tray is? It is not 1/4-20, that is too big. It is not...

    Canon 880IS vs. A720?

    I was looking for a replacement for my Sealife DC500..decided on the SD880IS and Canon Housing. I am very impressed with the 880, and do not understand how it could possible be switched on in your pocket, as the on/off button is a recessed 'push' located immediately between the 'mode' switch and...
