Like Chris, I'm using I'm using the Panasonic version of the 8mm with the Zen100. Actually the Zen100 was Chris' and I bought it off him. I've only used it for one dive trip so far but was very happy with it. It's a very compact combination too, good for travelling.

Wow, that really is upsetting. We stayed there pre-COVID and had a good time. But, as JMC says, to go all that way and not have a good time, is so disappointing. Good though that you went back to the images. Some nice ones for sure.

Hi Michiel There are no dumb questions. Sometimes the answers can be….. A TC works well with an FE lens to give a photographer the Close Focus Wide-Angle option, CFWA. This allows you to get very close to the critter and produces a larger image of the subject than just FE - but provides a wide-angle to show the subject in its environment. It’s a neat technique and can be very effective. A small dome port is ideal as the size doesn’t get in the way as much as a larger dome port allowing strobes to be tucked in very tightly which is key to CFWA lighting. Not an especially good example below which gives the idea - shot with the classic Tokina 10-17mm DX lens (on an APS-C sensor D500) with a Kenko 1.4TC. If I'd just used the Tokina, the moray would have appeared very small.

Just as an update. I did 19 dives with my new system in Sulawesi using the UWT trigger. It performed flawlessly. I actually never really gave it a thought. It just did want it's supposed to do. Using higher shutter speeds with HSS on my Retires was a breeze.

Slightly late news, but another update is available for LR Classic - version 15.6 The Adobe Community reports that: "What’s NewThe September 2026 release of Lightroom Classic v15.6 brings meaningful improvements designed to make photo editing faster and more precise. The standout enhancement is Reflection Removal, which now delivers cleaner results when removing reflections from windows, glass surfaces, and even water. The updated technology reduces smudges and ghosting artifacts, helping photographers recover details more naturally in challenging scenes. This release also streamlines masking workflows with new Check All and Check None options in the Masking panel. When creating landscape or people masks, you can now instantly select or clear all available mask options with a single click instead of making selections individually. In addition, Lightroom Classic expands support for newly released cameras and lenses, including Apple iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max camera systems, Google Pixel 11 series devices, OM Digital Solutions PEN cameras, and several new lenses from Sony, Sigma, Leica, and Laowa." All looks good on my system -

Haha, funny old world. Me, I find the Library brilliant! I can search all 60k photos and find exactly what I'm looking for (yeah, you have to Keyword of course). The ability to then drop files into a Collection is terrific. Each to his own, eh?!

Totally agree!

Lightroom since 1.0. And, maybe minority view, I think the subscription is actually good value. 😝 I honestly struggle to think of anything I can’t do or that could be significantly better. I guess a lot of that is just that I’ve been using it so long!

There's a lot of interest in the OM system cameras, especially the OM-1ii model which is used by a good number of long-term Waterpixels' members. As a result I thought it worth starting an seperate thread for OM Systems. So by all means post here issues, questions, thoughts, ideas, knowledge on how to get the best out of these cameras underwater. God knows I need some help..... 😝
