  1. Today
  2. I'm shopping for my first macro and sitting between the 45mm Panasonic or 60mm Olympus. I already have the port for the Olympus but it seems like a lot of lens for what I do. I'd likely get the MFO-3 to go with either one.
  3. Personally not a fan at all of the Canon (or Nikon) 8-15mm full frame fish eyes. They basically have a circular image at 8mm that I never ever touch, and then a normal wide fisheye at 15mm, that is similar to the 10mm result on the Tokina. I like the ability to zoom in on the Tokina and there is nothing on Full Frame that can do that, other than with the FCP-1 now
  4. Great trip on the Damai II through the Forgotten Islands. Trip report, eventually. Few pics and one bit of amazing video shot by Ollie Clarke while we were in transit: https://www.ollieclarkephotography.com Pygmy Blue Whale.m4v
  5. Oh I know. Currently looking at getting strobes to update my pair of video lights when I was using a go pro.
  6. Hi Toque I’m not sure that any specific manufacturer of ND filters makes them for underwater. Hoya filters are good and a reasonable price. The filters are pretty straightforward and underwater doesn’t make much, if any, difference. Essentially they block light from entering the lens. So this means you can use a wider aperture at the same shutter speed, or reduce a high shutter speed - so keeping it inside the fastest sync speed - if in, say, bright, shallow water.
  7. Here are a few images of the items for sale. If buying new, these items would cost $2,050 excluding tax.
  8. Warm welcome to the community. Never forget : underwater photography is a highly addicting hobbyy.... Once you start, you'll never stop
  9. Thank you for this modification of the config.
  10. The trend these days seems to be to market strobes that require a proprietary TTL trigger. The Backscatter strobes do not have a simple mimic TTL mode. And reading the manual for it and the HF-1 the Backscatter trigger is required for TTL? My three camera rigs run from the pop up strobe or from a UW Technics board. So the Atom would be manual only I assume though I think the HSS mode would work from the UWT board?
  11. I updated your flag, Members can now change there flag in Account Settings, under country. Welcome to Waterpixels..
  12. Hi All I was watching the latest episode from the "Underwater Photography Show" with Alex and Matt last night on Youtube. Alex just touched on using these types of filters for his underwater work at Lembeh. Is anyone else using these? can you help me understand the benefits of using these? Is there a specific filter manufacturer for underwater work? I do lots of shooting at the Blue Heron Bridge and it has a similar environment as Lembeh, so I'm looking for the benefits for me. Thanks
  13. Here the first for you, travelling photo retouchers! https://www.tourboxtech.com/
  14. Not as often as I’d like but I try too. Can send a message if you ever have questions or want to try to dive locally
  15. This is our coverage of Atom flash - not a full review - but some first impressions
  16. I've been using the PanaLeica for video since many years. Video AF is awful while color rendition and image quality is superb. IDK how it behaves in photography mode.
  17. Thanks for the suggestion, so what do you think about the focus speed and accuracy comparison for these two lens?
  18. Thank you Tim! I remember you and recognize several others already. Glad to be here!
  19. Hey Stan! Welcome to your new home! You’ll see lots of former Wetpixelers here. We’re the refuge! Great to have you with us. Best wishes
  20. Hello all, Previous member on Wetpixel and thankful to all who have made Waterpixels a thriving community and an invaluable resource. I started underwater imaging with a Sony Handycam/Bluefin housing and Nikon P7000. For roughly the last decade I've been shooting M4/3, first with the Oly EM-5 Mark II and currently the OM-1. Thank you! Stan
  21. It works pretty cool once you nail the flow down I honestly don't get the RAW --> DNG requirement but it's "fine". my main issue is that my GH5M2 has focus bracketing but it's just too slow shooting - so I'm just bursting "regularly" and move my camera. Need a few sessions in water to start nailing it. Matan.
  22. Thanks Caoollla. We’ll pursue.
