Yep. Let’s go. Please dm and we’ll have that done.

Did you ask i-fiberoptics about alternative shipping other than UPS? I think they stated that you could ask them individually....?

Price reduction to 200.-

Maybe this helps: https://www.usa.canon.com/pro/electronic-range-calculators/angle-of-view?srsltid=AfmBOopuFgvwHXgH0bqclAwuZc_ufA1ykX-Sy2UdmSg6C-fWz8_ckvMu in combination with the Nauticam Port Charts: https://www.nauticam.com/pages/wwl-1-port-chart The converter FOV is 130-70 degrees but the information whether this is vertical, horizontal or diagonal is not given. Let‘s say it is diagonal. The according focal length at 130 deg could be around 10-11mm if used on land. For 70 deg it is around 30mm

Thanks. It took only two Teams-Meetings that should have been an email until first try finished null

Hi Bghazzal, fully agree. The fact that until now no gopro wasn't in scope doesn't mean that it will stay that way. "doesn't matter" seems a bit too optimistic. But one more speculation: there could be another reason why Mexico is not so unhappy about becoming less attractive to divers and underwater photographers. There is a rumour, for example, that no-wake zones for animals have been established not because of the animals, but to keep the cartels undisturbed. Honi soit qui mal y pense....

Paracord was fast in delivering the products and I am ready to go. I measured 36cm from one shekel to the other. How long should be the paracord? 10m? Too short is stupid, too long increases the effort.

AFAIK GoPro has never been in scope. So that doesn't matter. Having the camera in the housing might reduce the risk only a little bit - most of the customs officers know what they are searching for. So best is hoping for the green light if you hit the button.

When I thought about testing the lens I noticed that the FOV would not increase despite the shorter lower end of the zoom range. Additionally I would need to buy another 35mm Nauticam extension. I think it's not worth the effort as the 28-60 performs extremely well. null

This question is really interesting. The verdict of this lens says „weak corners“ but who cares about that? https://www.digitalkamera.de/Zubehör-Test/Sony_FE_24-50_mm_F2_8_G_im_Test/14107.aspx The large entrance pupil could be the downside if combined with WACP-C. But the constant length of the lens could be the positive aspect. I‘ll start researching and will come back to this.

Great! Short enough to keep the attention high and beautiful images. It's the Lingcod that I liked most: Looking first like a still image then moving the eyes... Nice!

Thanks @kallebumba that helps. My attachment bolts are at least 28cm apart, so 35-36cm of total length should fit. Just placed my order at paracord, took 30m, should be enough.... 😁

Hi Makaron, hi Tim, You convinced me. Looking at my housing the distance between the two holes in the plates is already 28cm. I'd prefer shackles and strong colors, so I'll do one by myself. How much paracord do I need? 5-10 times the length?

How about the length of the lanyards? I saw lengths between 17 an 34cm and different connectors. How do I know which one fits best if I order one?

Lightroom on iPad is much cheaper and has nearly the same functionality as the desktop version. For a quarter the price. And there’s no real alternative to LR

Please add to the abbreviations. Besides everything @TimG mentioned about the pro max, I REALLY like the focus light. At night snorkeling it is better than any torch. Didnt‘t try macro yet but will do in 3-4 weeks.

Ah, that’s the one next to our hotel, the Kiha Beach. AFAIK Aveyla goes with the liquid salt divers. Did you take the picture at the house reef or on one of the tours?

I was refrring to my local dealer in €: null

Very nice done. In three weeks I will be there the third time… where did you stay? Went with LSD?

All right, you've convinced me. Now that I own a nice pair of Retra Po Max and I'm really happy with them, I'm going to defend them vigorously against any attacks.

We are far away from the original topic - maybe the headline should be switched to "Retra pro & con" There's no doubt that the Retra Pro Max is one of the most expensive currently available underwater flashes. For some of us, the sum of the positive characteristics, including the company's charisma, is worth the price, for others it is far beyond the scope of sensible expenditure. I've already made the comparison with tools, how about car brands? Mercedes versus Mazda? I'll continue reading about the battle of the different positions, but I don't think there's any point in adding any more arguments. These have already been exchanged.

Really like and have this one: https://www.ortlieb.com/de_de/duffle-rg+K12201 Rock solid, even longfins fit in.

Looking at the price lists for all the comparable competitors I see the price hike for all strobes in the last 4 years, but the differences in current prices are not so big; they all are in the 1.500.- to 1.900.- range.

I think so, yes. However, there is one caveat to the names of the craftsmen's tools: some, such as Makita, have opted for a Chinese-produced low-cost line, and there is no softer material than Chinese steel. But this is not the case with Retra. For Retra, I don't see any disadvantages compared to the new plastic lightning tools from Backscatter and Marelux. I can live with Retra's statement that with the new energy efficiency you only have to charge the battery as often as the camera battery. In my opinion, the flash recycle time is completely uncritical. And I still think that the circular flash tube will have advantages over linear tubes in the future, even if it is less efficient.
