Is that a collection of workshop paticipants' lenses, or does the resort have that inventory for rentals?

Thanks @Chris Ross and @bghazzal this helps explain a comment I'd seen regarding stabilization. It also explains why the MFO-3 worked flawlessly on my OM 60mm for photos. I expect the MV-60 to as well.

Thanks.

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?

Interesting. I’ve had one on order since June. I heard they had quality issues that delayed delivery. Maybe they had to switch to a new glass supply? Where are the Nauticam optics manufactured?

Nice video. Thanks!

Well, there is that American vs English thing—there are bins and there are bins!

I ended up getting several plastic bins. I’m gaining on it—the camera, lenses, and housing are all in bins. Now to get the diving detritus stored.

I’ve seen a lot of helpful ideas on travel cases, but nothing on how folks keep photo gear safe, organized, and out of the way (I seem to have photo gear multiplying in every room of the house!). I shoot OM, so everything is a little smaller than FF (except strobes), but it still piles up. What solutions have you found that work?

Welcome! I’m in E Bay. I do some diving in Monterey, but prefer warm clear water.

I’d concur that CoCoView is a solid 3-4 star dive resort and I can’t wait to get back. They may have trouble accommodating 30-40 people, though.

By the way one consideration on housing is if there is any thought to adding a monitor as I think only aluminum housings accommodate the HDMI needed.

These plan view comparisons are really helpful for a sanity check! I handled/shot the Sony A7RVI in the Singapore airport and gave it a thought as it was a joy to hold and shoot (and FAST AF!), but the cost, weight, and bulk of lenses, ports, and housing sobered me right up!

I shot the 30 mm on two daylight dives by mistake (the hazards of assembling camera gear before coffee when jetlagged!) inside the 60mm port. Shots turned out amazingly well, although I wondered why my CMC 2 was so easy to shoot and seemingly lower mag than expected!🤯 I did not notice any creature spooking issues, but again I was unaware I was shooting the 30 until after the two morning dives when I pulled the camera for a battery swap so I wasn’t really looking for any difference. The 30 worked great on blackwater.
