Now there's a phrase that you don't read so often.......

Hi ProbstPortraits Welcome to Waterpixels and great to have you with us. We hope you really enjoy the forum. Yucky lakes, eh? Brrrr, I feel cold already. Best wishes Tim

Not sure it'd be any better with full frame! It's all about timing - and luck. Just one suggestion: as David and others say, these rascals come out at dusk so low-light environments. They can be quite tricky to spot as the light decreases and they dart in and out holes in the reef. It can be quite handy to spot them before they make a dash for their mid-water "tryst". I found this is best done with a low intensity red light - not white. White puts them off (well, it would, wouldn't it?). And a red light seems rather appropriate......

Hey Susanne! Welcome to Waterpixels. Great to have you with us - we actualy don't have too many members from Austria so you're even more welcome. Enjoy the forum! Best wishes Tim

Yep, super fins and body shape/pose. Bloody fish. There's an old music hall/stage saying in the UK: "never work with children and animals". Add fish.

Hey Kim Welcome to Waterpixels, again 🤣. Great to have you with us still. We hope you really enjoy the forum. Best wishes Tim

I see the photo attached to this post and think, "struggling". Really? 🤣

Super idea, thanks, we'll pursue...... There is the Destination, Resort, Dive Guide and Critter Spotter Recommendations thread in the Travel forum but the idea of country/region threads might work nicely containing the more detailed responses.

Hehehe, funny in retrospect but I'm sure it was annoying as hell at the time. "Ahh, how we laughed...."

Did you see Alex B’s post on 4 May? I thought the same thing but apparently not! 😱

Interestingly I've been talking to Nauticam about their housing for the Z6III and they recommended this combination.

Can anyone confirm for me please the right EXR to use with the Subal DP100 and the Nikkor 8-15mm lens? I'm pretty sure it's the EXR20 - the same as using the DP-FE port - but wanted to check. Thanks! Tim

Get well soon, Isaac.

Totally agree - unless we now have the Giant Blue-ringed Octopus - a sister species to the Pygmy Whale Shark.

Probably is - but long may it survive!

@Troporobo is your man for info on this - and will I'm sure chip-in. Based on his recommendations my partner and I did Anilao and Puerta Galera some years ago and really enjoyed it. Muck diving in Anilao is good (and I used to run muck diving trips in a resort in the Lembeh Straits) and we had 5 days there. It's not all muck but lots of macro critters. Puerta Galera (PG) is a boat ride away and an easy transfer - so little wasted time travelling. A variety of dives around there with some interesting critters including rhinopeas. We spent another 5-6 days there.

My 16-year old Subal 45-degree viewfinder has a fair bit of water-staining on the glass. Clean this maybe by rubbing gently with the cerium oxide powder and a soft cloth?

Isaac, what do you use to remove those water stains? This is an issue that has been discussed a few times in relation to water stains on ports.

Just a quick update on the fibre order: it's on its way and it scheduled to reach my mate in NYC tomorrow. Yay! No change on when I can start shipping it out to you guys.

Brilliantly done, Davide - and utterly depressing. And, yes, those who have been diving for a couple of decades or more have seen the massive changes.

"The new law, adopted by plenary on Tuesday with 602 votes in favour, 13 against and 8 abstentions" I wonder who the Thirteen were!

In contrast to GoPro, a number of the camera manufacturers (or nearly all of them?) seem to have standardised on batteries which seem to last through generations of cameras. My Nikon D100, 200, 300, 700, 800, Z6 and Z6III all used the same battery format but with some technical changes on their capacity - but all were interchangeable. Even the "pro" series, D5, D6, Z9 use/used a common format. Totally agree on cables. Is USB-C the new brave hope? My iPhone 12 is the only thing I have left with Lightning. Phew.... Well done EU!

I do like the look of that Think Tank bag. Tempting….. Time to move on from my Pelican? Hmmmmm……

There has been some discussion about the S&S correction lens. Especially about availability. As you say, there are, or were, two sizes and a number of members use them especially with 230 domes ad FX cameras.
