All Activity

😆 thank you

I’d like to join the chorus. UWP was one of the first resources I found when starting out and I downloaded every issue as soon as I got the notice. I too will be sad to see it go. Wishing Peter a well deserved and happy retirement!

I got the Maxi strobes in just now. I am able to say that I am pleasantly surprised that my over worked imagination was wrong and these strobes are not as big as I had thought. They are not little but not too big either and that promises to balance well in the water. So I think I am glad that I did not go out and get the Max Pro IIs. I think that I will like the Maxi better in the end. For my purposes anyways. Thanks all.

Aloha and welcome @gb diver !

is this still available?

Nauticam housing still available 16-70mm Nauticam gear still available

Welcome gbdiver! Great to have you with us.

Sold.

On Nov 2 TimG wrote," It’s ok. Once you hit the Big Seven Zero you realise you don’t need so much kit….. housing, two lenses, two ports, two strobes and a snoot. And you’re done 😝". Sounds like the typical Brit kit - a fisheye and a 105mm macro. I'm now 81 and heading to Bali for a month of diving. Diving since 1973 and now somewhere between 6K & 7K dives. One housing, four lenses, three strobes, etc. On my upcoming September trip it will be both (two) housings and five or six lenses, and four strobes. 3mm wetsuit. Still feel more at home in the water than out of it.

Works remarkably well with the Sea and Sea Correction filter as well. Alas they don't make it any more but if you can find it somewhere it definitely improves the image corners about 1.5 stops.

Comments may be off for some strange reason. Find me through my website or through Facebook.

Hi folks, Got a pair of barely used Pro Max IIs. Alas they've been in the water and cannot be returned. But my loss is your gain! $3000 for the pair, they currently go for $4000/pair with boosters. Includes con-US shipping Will also sell brand new sets of Eneloop Pros for a good deal if interested when buying the Retras.

Thanks for letting me in I am a UK diver 😁

I looked forward to every issue. Mr. Rowland is keeping the site alive through w026, and every issue is available for download. It’s a cool way to see how underwater imaging has evolved over the years.

I'm interested but can't seem to find them on ebay?

I’ve been a long time reader and occasional contributor. Thanks, Peter, for a great run and best wishes for an active, happy retirement.

Just going to say, having owned/used the old D2000, the Z240 and several other Inon strobes, the S220 is as powerful as the Z240 was. And folks considered at that time it to be an acceptable wide angle strobe. The S220 is so tiny and is rock solid in both manual and TTL. The S220 is not the S2000, it is a much improved strobe. I am sure now that I have invested in Retra strobes that Inon will dump five new models on the market to make me go nuts and shake my fists to the heavens, but, according to several photo stores, not going to happen.

I'm really sorry. It was a really great source of information. I spent lots of time browsing uwpmag issues. I will miss it

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish Seems appropriate...

I have two of these excellent 13000 Lumen video lights. Unmarked and in excellent condition with both battery health LED arrays showing 8 lights = 100% health. Original chargers and boxes. Nauticam ball brackets included. I'm located in the UK and BSAC Advanced Instructor 1719. On eBay you can check my score (see 'gis_arc'). Happy to ship anywhere. Photos located here. Offers of around £900. Thanks, James

Yep, very sad. But good for Peter! It’s been a terrific resource. Maybe someone should offer to pick it up…..

Unfortunately I don't think I would be holding my breath waiting for the new INON, they discontinued the Z330 strobe in early 2023. They popped up showing a prototype over a year ago and since then crickets. We're spoiled for choice currently with strobes with lots of options. The INON Z series strobes were great strobes, quite reliable, and I understand why you might want them. You could consider a new pair of S220 strobes now, apparently quite powerful and nearly a match for you YS-D2, but otherwise there's lot's to choose from. Of course having said this they might announce the new strobe next week, but doesn't seem likely.

That’s too bad.

Sad to see that resource go away :(.
