Hi Nicholas Welcome to Waterpixels! I’m sure you’ll get help here with your question on the TG system. Lots of expert advice as you rightly say. Good to have you with us.

Hi Grace Just to add to Davide's post, you can add an image to a post by clicking the "Drag files here to attach or choose files" which should be at the bottom of the text box. This will allow you to link to a file on your device. On macro shooting, one of my favourite techniques is to use a snoot which allows light to be concentrated on a small object isolating it from its background. See: Good to have you with us Tim

Hi Littlebutmighty! Welcome to Waterpixels. Great to have you with us, We hope you enjoy the forum.

Yeah me too. Though I did find the charging mechanism a bit quirky. But sad news indeed.

Let's move on, guys.....

Hi Johan! Great to have you with us. Welcome to Waterpixels!

Great to have you with us, jkepic! Welcome to Waterpixels.

Fear? Partner watching your every move? Trying to figure out how much you can claim it cost?

I use the Tokina all the time for WA. Although I have both a 100 and a 140 port, unless I am setting out to do under/overs, I always use the 100. I can't see an advantage in the 140 for standard WA shots with the Tokina. Totally agree with this. I think going with that one-lens-which-can do-anything is not a recipe for success. The problem is not the lens but the way having that range of options impacts on the creative thinking process. Pick a lens and go out thinking about what you can create with that. Photography is much about visualisation of an end result and then going out to achieve it.

Hi jlaity This is very odd. We’ll take a look and get back to you.

Hi Canada_diver! Welcome to Waterpixels. We’re delighted you’ve joined us. We hope you really enjoy the forum. Best wishes Tim

Careful, I think folks have been cancelled for less...... 🤣

I love to see sanity check and new (underwater camera) system in the same sentence. Ha! How sane are we to spend so much cash and take all this sensitive gear in salt water? Good luck on that final decision making, visalia. Just confirm to us all that you remain sane at the end of the process; and what pills you took. I'd like to order some. 🙈

Now that is a cracking idea! Keeps those bolts safe and sound. I like it!

Yep, exactly the same for me. Zip-lock bag with screws and Allen keys which, from time to time, punch their way through the plastic in an effort, I suspect, to escape. Ha!

Simon! Great to have you with us. I remember you well from when I ran the dive operation at KBR. We hope you enjoy the forum. As Davide says, welcome to your new home.

All of the above, Davide. Stressus Maximus: new gear, more travel, more diving. Then I woke up and saw my partner. Merry Christmas!

D400 or D500?

I'm with Wolfgang on the 45-degree finder. I've been using one on my Subal ND500 housing since 2008 and would never leave home without it. Arguably the best "investment" I've made on my housing. As I've written elsewhere, Nauticam reckon the Nikkor 24-50mm and WWL-C are the way to go for wide-angle on FF. I have no personal experience though.

Good to have you with us, Reuben. Welcome!

Hey Reuben I'm a D500 user and, yep, I would not want to switch out of that for a full-frame system particularly for the wide-angle element for all the reasons you outline. I think in your position I'd be tempted to look for a D500 housing and camera. I'd be surprised if those cost $5000. It'd be worth posting a Like To Buy advert here and see what lines up.

Great to have you with us, Riana. You’ll find lots of ex-Wetpixelites here! Welcome.

Hey Rich! We're delighted you found us. Welcome. We hope you really enjoy the forum

Thanks Wolfgang. Good on the dynamic mode fix but bad on the continuing monochromatic thing. And this is v6.0.3 too. Urgh. In the Release Notes for 6.0.2 it suggested that it was possible to modify icons. This sounded better than what was feasible in 6.0. Have you tried icon modification at all?

Yep, you do indeed, Bio. We ask people to introduce themselves as we think that's a friendly start and a way to try and weed out the scammers and fraudsters. We're delighted to have you with us and hope you find the forum really useful. Welcome!
