Finally got my strobe! now moving towards macro...

[damage]

Hello

Finally I bought my strobe for my G11 + OEM housing, I had a great dive last weekend and took my first test shots, now I'm moving towards macro; do you guys have any suggestions? The only adapter and macro lens I've seen are from Fantasea; SharpEye M67 UW Macro Lens and the adapter: EyeDaptor f/ 67mm Accessories to Canon WP-DC28

Do you know if this lens is good and which magnification ratio has it? or is there a better option?

I don't know that it a better option, but I've seen this thread:

Canon G9 & G7 housing - DIY 67mm lens adapter - Wetpixel :: Underwater Photography Forums

It also seems that you could use or add an AD adapter ring, to have a bayonet mount Inon macro lens.

Scary, but worth it, thank you =)

I am using it with my G10.... there are 2 different magnifications you can chose from... or if you have $$$ you can buy both!

I have the 10+ magnifier.

Hi, could you post comparison pics of macro shots of your G10 with and without the magnifier? I'm just curious how those lens magnifies the subject. thanks!

I'm using the WPDC28 as well. Will be able to test my new Inon UCL-165M67 and 10 Bar Adaptor tomorrow. I'll post some pics with and without as soon as I get back on monday!

I got the supermacro just before heading to Lembeh and my shutter speed was too high so they're slightly out of focus. Hopefully will do better when I'm in Dominica this June. Like anything else, there's a learning curve!

Here are some shots using the magnifier.

I didn't use the camera's macro, just the magnifier.

specs say Focal Length: 250mm / +4

I have that lens and adaptor used with G10, strobe is YS-110a - been pleased with the results:

elanarchist: great photos, I guess I'm buying the same lens, (ReefNet Inc. | SubSee Magnifier and Adapter) is the one you are using right?

coral cruiser:great pictures, and you are right everything is a learning curve, right now I'm learning how to use the strobes =P

No, I have the Fantasea 67mm Sharpeye w/ Eyedaptor.. would like to play around with the SubSee but I think the +10 would be hard to get good focus. I may get another Sharpeye to stack on for supermacro shots.
