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

For sale, viewfinder Nauticam 40°/0.8:1 ref 32214 Bought new in june 2023. Some signs of use, visible in the photos. Shipping across Europe 1200€

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 :(.

He didn't mention it in his email, it's buried in his editorial called "150," but this is the last ever issue of Underwater Photo Magazine as Peter is retiring. https://www.uwpmag.com/ will stay open through the end of 2026. I'll miss it as a resource, mostly for photo-oriented trip reports and in-depth equipment reviews. But 2026 hasn't been kind to magazines, even digital ones. So long and thank you.

Well it couldn’t happen at a worse time. Was blowing out all my photos on a recent dive to the Northern BC coast. Turns out my old D2 finally crapped out and has the typical board failure. Not bad considering it’s quite a few years old. Funny thing is my D1 is still just as good as day 1! Worst part about it all is I’m heading to the Dominican in under two weeks and scrambling to get a stop gap replacement. I was planning on upgrading to the Inon z335’s when they were released so don't want to buy a new strobe now. May just run the trip single strobe. There is always something!

For sale is a never used ZEN DP-100-N120 CR mini domeport, fits Nauticam 120. Perfect for the Nikkor 8-15 or Canon 8-15 Fisheyes. It is the version with the removable shade (can be done underwater (i recommend thin gloves) so that you can use the fisheye at 8 mm (for circular images) and 15 mm on the same dive (if you have the zoom-gear (i can print one for Nikon if you like and add it for free)). Selling because i bought it as a replacement for my D850 (which was stolen in Albania in 2024) - but never got a new Housing for the D850 again (if you have one for sale i might be interested...). It's new in the netherlands at 1400 €, asking 1180 Euro for it (or best offer). Can ship worldwide on buyers expense.
