Visible scratches on WACP-C
Walt Stearns replied to fruehaufsteher2's topic in Photography Gear and Technique
The reason brought this up, is that personal experience I have had even a gold wedding band leave behind to very visible scratches in a glass dome port. Hence, I not longer wear anything on my fingers or wrist when setting up my camera system. -
Visible scratches on WACP-C

Question, were you wearing a jewelry - rings, wrist watch, etc. at the time? I have personally found them to a large source of unexplained scratches on dome ports. -
It's Time to Talk About the Nikonos RS 13mm Again
Walt Stearns replied to ianmarsh's topic in Photography Gear and Technique
Matt, the auto focus with the Megadap ETZ21 Pro adapter worked pretty well, but I want to do a few more dives with it to give it a more finale approval. -
It's Time to Talk About the Nikonos RS 13mm Again
Walt Stearns replied to ianmarsh's topic in Photography Gear and Technique
Going from a Nikon D850 to Z8 my Seacam converted Nikonos R-UW 13 became unusable as there is no working solution currently available for a F-mount lens with the old fashion autofocus to work via an adapter a Nikon Z mount or any other mount for that matter. To bring it back to life for the second time I just had Issac convert from a Nikon F mount to Sony mirrorless E mount using a Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Lens ($198.00 from B&H) as a doner lens. From there, I purchased a Megadap ETZ21 Pro Sony E – Nikon Z adapter (price point of $249.00) to provide a means for these two different mounts to effectively work together. Was this endeavor worth it? Dam straight it was. Here are two images from a battery testing in ocean, not a pool to see what that this lens can do while shooting at wide apertures from F/2.8 to F/6.3. Note, the two images here were shot at 1/200 sec at F/3.2. Neither have undergone any cropping or de-fishing, I did however reduce the file a bit so they would load faster. -

The second one is a KR-BMQD BaII to YS mount Quick Disconnect Arm (SKU: KR-BMQD) Made from anodized aluminum and stainless, these Quick Disconnect arm segments provide a means to quickly and easily take off your strobe or focus light to get creative. Both are in excellent condition – both functionally and cosmetically. Selling price: $25 each, or $40 together, which includes free shipping in the USA.

The finder is an earlier general having been around back when I was shooting a Nikon D500, so the exterior finish has a much more worn look to it, otherwise the optics are clean and sharp.

RETRA Lithium-Ion Battery Pack

insomniac you are the 8th person I have heard who has had sync issues with the Turtle TTL converters. I would not be quick on blaming the strobes in that case. -

RETRA Lithium-Ion Battery Pack
Walt Stearns replied to Jay-11's topic in Lights, Strobes, and Lighting Technique
Since day 1 when Retra introduced their underwater flash system, we were advised to use Eneloop pro AA Rechargeable NiMH Batteries which individually have a battery voltage of 1.2 V with 2550 mAh / 3.06 Wh Now with 8 of these batteries bundled together you then have 9.6 V, but your battery capacity is still going to provide 2550 mAh / 3.06 Wh. Whereas with 8 EBL AA Li-ion batteries which have a battery Voltage of 1.5V with 2200mAH / 3.3 Wh individually are bundled together will then have a total voltage of 12V, yet the battery capacity for all 8 together remains at 2200mAH / 3.3 Wh. While it was advised to stay away from the latter, now comes Retra’s new Power Vault Li-Ion battery pack which is stated to provide 7.2V with a battery capacity of 5555.56 mAh / 40 Wh. To me, this is a bit of a head scratcher.
