  1. Good points, surely a lot of things to consider. A pitty that the review ends with an advetisement, which undermines the feeling that the text was written from an objective perspective. The best thing that could happen is that the tecnicians of both companies would sit together to make a improved version.
  2. I keep as much as possible in my travelcase, so chances I forget something when I leave on a trip are lower. The case goes on a shelve with enough space above too get at my goodies.
  3. Occasional, Interresting, I thought it was a all or none issue. I'll make more test shots.
  4. I realy like videos that give a good impression of your coast, with critters and wideangles. This is a perfect example.
  5. Just a question about the sync speed of OM-1 with a simple flah trigger. Several users reported 1/400 flash sync speed on their Olympus camera combined with a Nauticam trigger. It appreared to me that with my Olympus-5iii and a Nauticam trigger, as well as with a Underwater Light an Magic trigger, 1/500 sync I also gives a full well lighted image. I'd like to know if the OM-1 (1/2) has comparable sync speeds. Did someone test this out?
  6. That is one of the guides out of a fantastic serie. https://www.nhbs.com/2/series/seasearch-guides If you just want a simpler guide, more of an overview of common British species, this is a great one. https://www.nhbs.com/great-british-marine-animals-book
  7. Strange I can see them in Chrome on a Windows laptop and when I inspect or download them they apear to be png images.
  8. Let's agree to disagree :-)
  9. Although not everybody agrees, I prefer the Pana 45mm over the 30mm. The working distance is far much better and I have no AF issues for macro.
  10. Thanks all , especially the backscatter argument resonates for me. The Kraken 1800 WSR looks perfect for me, small and simple. The EU common market helps me out, i'll order one from Spain.
  11. For macro I use a simple Weefine 800 focusing light, but the battery is losing its capacity. Annoyingly its proprietary battery, with both poles on one side, is not for sale anymore. A possible choice (with red light) at my local shop would be the Weefine 2600 which has the same attachment to the camera house. What makes me hesitate is that it needs an extra sync cable to enable 'auto-off' during flash activity. This construction with a cable is said to give a more robust auto-off, but an extra sync cable does not seem attractive. This made me wonder: how important auto-off is in macro photography anyway? (In case of the Weefine 2600: the light is 1500 lumen but that can be reduced).
  12. New hobby on a rainy day 🤓
