  1. Yeah, I got that too and it was the first I'd heard of it. Fits all of the Retras apart from the originals. Interesting for sure. One thing I really like about the Retras though is being able to use AA batteries. Easy to charge, transport, replace etc etc.
  2. Sounds fascinating! Thanks!
  3. ....... aaaand a very good day on the makar0n sales market..... 😀

    Good man, Frederic! Great to have you with us. A warm welcome!
  5. Great to have you with us. A warm welcome. Really sad the way WP has gone. I’m sure you’ll see lots of familiar names.

    Hi Neal Great to have you with us. I'm sure you'll see lots of names you recognise from "the old forum"...... (RIP) I'm a D500 shooter myself. Love it! Could well be wort advertising your kit here on the Classifieds. Always worth a shot. Best wishes

  9. I've found Miso a bit hard to get hold of in the last few months. But persevere. He does reply. I've not seen an update to his website for ages - maybe since v4. He's now up to v6 and seems to sell mainly through dealers. So if you look at the Bluewater website you'll find them there. No sign of a SeaFrogs adaptor there though. The main parts of the Vivid Sentinel are common to all housings. It's customised to a specific housing by the adaptor that screws on to the base of the Sentinel and then into the housing. So it's the thread on the housing bulkhead which you need to know. So getting a SeaFrogs fit should be doable unless it's some really odd size..
  10. We've used Tauch Terminal several times. A good dive operation, nice accommodation, beach front, easy walk to the Liberty wreck.
  11. Hard to believe no-one has snapped this up! A great deal for an amazing system. Yeah, a bit dated, but I know from personal experience that it can produce superb results.
  12. Really interesting stuff, Massimo. Thanks Could you just explain your final paragraph a little more? I don’t quite follow….. Thanks!
  13. 😰😱🤢☠️

  15. Fit a clock into the lens opening….

    Welcome Mcgowman! Great to have you with us. Yep, you’ll see lots of familiar names. We hope you like the new forum.

    Some super tips, guys. Keep them coming!
  18. Really sorry, Toque, but, yeah, I’m with Chris and Chip. Dry your tears, claim the insurance if you can…. and start again. You can probably get away with a housing rebuild (not cheap) but the camera body is an amusing story in a few years time. Camera lenses with built-in electronics are equally toast. Argh

    Folks Thanks to members who drew a potential issue to our attention, we’ve weeded out a scammer who was operating on the site suggesting possible equipment sale possibilities. Thanks guys! We try very hard to weed out the dodgy and malign. But there are some seriously devious folks out there. So please, if a deal sounds dodgy, let us know. We will do what we can to look into it. Please be very wary of offers of equipment away from the forum from people who are low contributing members. If you’re responding to a Classified forum advertisement, have a good look at the bona fides of the person offering. If they are a long-term member with lots of posts, then that is a lot safer than someone who has just joined and immediately lists equipment for sale. Please be wary. We don’t want members getting caught out. If you’re not sure, ask us and we’ll do what we can. But bear in mind we can’t be infallible! From my own experience over many years, lots of sales between members have been high successful for all parties. Let’s keep it that way!
  20. In all the years I’ve been doing underwater photography, I don’t think I’ve ever given thought to the colour temperature of my strobes: Nikonos, then Inons and now Retras. I’m not sure what that says about me or my images!

    Good to have you with us,Toque. Welcome!
  22. But is having "only" a 20-24MP camera body truly an issue? Does it prevent you from doing something or producing a desired output?
  23. Hi TeamHoover. Welcome to Waterpixels. We hope you really enjoy the forum and find it useful!
  24. Two chances? Fat and No??
