A gratuitous photo of all the close up lenses in Lembeh Resort this week (one of the ones on the front row, owned by the kid from Toy Story):

Is that a collection of workshop paticipants' lenses, or does the resort have that inventory for rentals?

Yeah, despite the numbers, there is a surprising lack of variety?

Overwhelmingly Nauticam. I see one Kraken diopter, a subsee but very few (none?) AOI lenses. Interesting, because their Pro range is stellar.
Price vs. notoriety, perhaps?

I'd say the group is dominated by lots of experienced, long-time underwater photographers - who've a positive experience of previous generation Nauticam optics, and have perhaps been burned by some of the older generations from other brands not performing as well as claimed.
