I have not heard of any IBIS issues using the MV60 and yes it should work well with the Oly 60 macro. Marelux US has one left in stock and more arriving soon.
-
The MFO-3 has a bulbous/curved front glass which was not designed for adding filters like ND's .They have an optional push on filter holder for an additional $50.00 plus for version I. I suspect this may now be built into the lens on V II. This is one of several differences for the Marelux MV60 which already has flatter front glass and a common 77mm thread size for a verity of filter types.including yellow for Flora.

I could be mistaken, but it appears to me the MFO-3ii now has some sort of built-in lens shade/protector

(have been using EMWL regularly for 2 years) we considered the reverse viewfinder. upside is more compact setup. downsides are dedicated rig essentially (you will have to switch the viewfinder when switching lenses). and you cannot go regular macro to emwl underwater which is one nice feature to have on some dives. we did use a monitor for a while - that enables you to flip the image back and forth - while still having a relatively compact rig (you do have the monitor on top). at then end we ended up diving only the 'classic' emwl setup with relay lens and angled view finder.

Hi Karlo, Welcome aboard! Video or photo? 😈
-
Free USAHi, all. They have been claimed! I'm glad to see them getting new homes.
-
have been using the think tank mind shift first light for many years - looks casual (doesn't scream "photo gear inside") and has a lot of space - especially a nice depth to it. travelled to many continents - has passed in pretty much all places for carry on. there are two options - 35l which will definitely go pretty much anywhere - and 45l which is more of a US airline version. it's been sturdy and protective while relatively light.
-
we do a lot of shore diving with the EMWL - attach the focus unit on the housing (with no cover - the glass is recessed and pretty well protected) - and have the relay with the lens attached in my pocket. once we are in a safe spot we assemble it and flush all connections (there are tiny bubbles in there as well as sand in our case).

I’m seeing good things about the Marelux MV60. One concerning thing I saw was that it doesn’t play nicely with lens image stabilization. I’d hate to have to turn off IS on the OM as it works so well. I’ve tried the MFO-3 with my 60 mm macro lens and loved it. Unfortunately they don’t seem to be available. What can I expect with the MV60 on my Olympus 60mm? Is it available?

hi I am new member from Croatia. glad to be here

If either are still available, I'd be very interested. Ideally shipped to Indonesia, or I can probably find a US address. Thanks

Thanks for the detailed feedback from a real use case. Two questions: Did you find any differences or did you have to change anything in your setup since this monitor is supposed to be much heavier than the previous one? Others and I are using the Weefine 5 inch with great satisfaction, but we drew a wild card with the extra features. The Zebras are not real zebras. In short, the firmware feels homemade. How do you like yours?
-
Many thanks to everyone for your feedback. I still use the ports and domes with an Isotta housing with D500. And as mentioned, I have the viewfinder for sale, and I’ll be putting the electrical cables up for sale shortly. To be honest, I was thinking of a much lower price—around €200 for the housing and the two D300 bodies, lol, 😅 I’m raising funds for my next piece of underwater gear = GAS 😃
-
Phil Rudin mentioned the Marelux MV60, which is similar to MFO-3, can fit to nauticam flip, but allows focusing to infinity (versus 150cm for MFO-3). Although I have tried neither, based on this it is hard to find a reason to chose the MFO-3 over the MV60. Fred

When @Alex_Mustard was a student he started a group called Young Underwater Photographers which, amongst other things, worked with such donations to help beginners.
-
Its sad, but also consider breaking the housing for parts. For example, if a viewfinder is still compatible with more recent housings, that could be worth more than the basic housing body. Strobe connectors are also an expensive spare that may have some value.
-
I LOVED the D300. A brilliant camera and did well over 1000 dives with one. Subal housing. Second hand value, even with a couple of bodies? Honestly, not much. If you got $600 I think you’d have done well. I like @homodelphinius idea of donating. Make someone’s day. Unless you need the cash of course.
