Strobe help - not firing by fiber optic cable. Sea and Sea YS-D2 / Nauticam / Sony A7RII
There is a really cheap solution: thick optic fibre cable https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005002905591172.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.200.22bf1802W4zSOj&gatewayAdapt=glo2esp I have used the 4mm inner diameter, but usually it works with 2mm too. To attach the cable to the strobe and the housing you can use rubber grommets, 3d printed connectors or even self-fusing rubber tape. Not fancy, but gets the job done.

Yes, it is. The OM1 version has 2 o-rings.

AOI OM Octo housing vac issue
AOI Em10 IV housing owner here. I've found this housing to be quite "demanding". It flooded partially once after getting a green light. The o-ring was indeed dirty. Aftere that, this is how i proceed before every dive: -Remove o-ring -Clean the groove with cotton swab -Go through all the o-ring with my fingers to ensure there is no sand (I often use saliva to do that π€«) -put the o-ring back on and close the housing -pump it like one or one and a half more times when the yellow leds shows If I'm in a very humid place (like almost everywhere if you dive warm waters), do all of this inside your room with the AC on. Doing this, I've had no more issues.

Laowa 8-15 fisheye m43 with autofocus (rumor)
Extensions and zoom rings (I have a 3d printer though). I feel like chinese companys are starting to see some future in M43. May be is the Go Pro Mission effect, may be is because I want it to happen and is just a wish π

Laowa 8-15 fisheye m43 with autofocus (rumor)
Yeah, you are probably right, it seems it will be the same lens with different adapters. Not the best solution for M43 considering the size of a FF lens.

Laowa 8-15 fisheye m43 with autofocus (rumor)
I've just seen this web claiming Laowa will launch autofocus lenses in the future: https://www.43rumors.com/laowa-announces-they-will-make-new-autofocus-mft-lenses/ Do you think this is really happening? I have an AOI wet lens for wide angle, but I really miss the Tokina 10-17 that I used to shoot with my previous rig (Nikon D80). I find the 8mm fisheye (Oly or Pana) not very versatile, a fisheye zoom would be an awesome add. Any info out there?

Hi everyone! A (kind of) underwater photographer here. Started like 20 years ago but in 2015 life gave me a daughter and, you know, stopped diving for a while. So, 10 years later I decided to get back to scuba diving and uw photography. Great for my mind, terrible for my wallet. I live in the Basque Country, so my dive spots are near home most of the time (except on holidays). Usually not the best conditions for pictures, but I enjoy it anyway (not really, will complain about it in future posts). Glad to be here and looking forward to contribute with my (zero) knowledge!
