Very nice! I ordered mine last Friday. I am hoping to have it before I go to Bonaire on Friday night.

Any hints or tips?

I shoot in manual mode, with sea&sea ys-d1 on ttl. set the screen to "live view boost" on in the custum menew settings, it helps to see the focus.
there is an issue with reviwing the pictures while un the housing, see my previous post here:

Great pics. I am looking to use the same set up minus the 60 mm lens for the first time this weekend. I was able to get the wet adapter and 2x macro lens. Hoping for great results.

great pics
i am planning to get the same set but my concern is how fast and easy to control and change settings without dedicated dials and buttons ? i guess everything has to to be done through the menus , right ?

When in Manual mode, press the up button to get to change the aperture/ shutter speed. up-down will change the shutter and left-right will change the aperture. when the desired values have been reached, press o.k button or just shoot.
steel in M mode, press the right button to change the flash settings. press the left button to change the focus point.
to change any other parameters, press the o.k button to get to the quick menue. scroll with the up-down to the desired parameter and change its value with the right-left.
It's quite cumbersom at first' but done very quickly once you get used to it.
