  1. Came across an interesting option today - its basically a soft roller with a thinner backpack that attaches to it - but you can connect the two together and use it as a backpack if the ground doesn't suit a roller. You will need to add a divider set into it like @bvanant did. Unfortunately Granite Gear don't make this model any more☹️ but ebay or Craigslist might find you one, or you might find one available on Temu or Aliexpress as the Chinese factories often sell old designs that they used to make for big name brands. The main section is 20cm deep so perfect for most UW photo gear. https://www.granitegear.com/cross-trek-2-22-carry-on-wheeled-upright-with-removable-pack.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1WXgeVNmZU
  2. This appeared in one of my feeds today - might be useful - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006280445673.html
  3. Hoping that we might be able to compile a list of 3rd Party Full Frame wide and macro lenses for mirrorless cameras that are suitable for underwater photography. In another thread @Phil Rudin mentioned the Laowa 12mm F2.8 Lite Zero-D FF rectilinier lens - available for Sony E & Nikon Z in AF, and Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF and L Mount as MF - US$699 for all versions - usable behind a 180mm port. Once we get a few sugegstions up here I will start a spreadsheet.
  4. Weird - I've never had my carry-on weighed by Emirates despite many trips from Australia to Egypt on them. Years ago I had a photographers vest made that had pockets on the front for lenses etc, and a sleeve on the back for a 17 inch laptop, but I have misplaced it somewhere.
  5. I've tried Firefox too - same result! I just tried what you suggested with the page zoom level - still no joy! If someone could please use the Snipping Tool or something similar and send them to me I would be grateful, the graphs that I am missing are - - Guide Numbers - Weights - Power Levels - Flash Duration Edit - I have now been able to get the full screen version of the Guide Numbers to display by reducing Page Zoom to 80%, but the others won't display even with Page Zoom set to 50%... The others all appear as expected with Page Zoom at 100%
  6. So probably not just a Windows problem then. I'm going to email Backscatter and see if they can send me a pdf - if so I will send a copy to you.
  7. Just tried an Incognito browser tab - same problem unfortunately Just tried the same combination - still no joy! I might contact Backscatter.
  8. 17" laptop - have tried Chrome and Microsoft Edge - same on both.
  9. Is anyone else having trouble getting some of the bar graphs in the article to display? For me some of them just don't display as I scroll down and leave a large white space, and I get a blank white page when I click on the "Full Screen" buttons. If anyone is able to turn the article into a pdf and send it to me I would be grateful!
  10. @Phil Rudin - the recent Backscatter strobe tests reported that the Apollo III 2.0's output was significantly less when tested compared to the Marilux claim of GN44 - has Marilux made any comment about this?
  11. I wasn't aware of this thread until now! Copper mine shares went up another 11.5 cents today so not long now...
  12. Please let us know the minimum and maximum focus distances once they become known.
  13. Hmmm, or Hong Kong as there are no sales taxes and then come home via Bali...πŸ˜„
  14. Definitely wide angle country - you can leave the macro kit at home. Basically you are doing a north reefs & wrecks trip from Hurghada - will be windy that time of year so make sure you pack a hoody. Probably 5mm wetsuit too rather than a 3mm. Best tip is to take two wetsuits - one can be drying while you are diving the other one - that way you are always putting on a dry wetsuit.
