Posts your comments here on feedback on buyers or sellers if you bought or sold through the Classifieds thread

Hey brightnight I don’t think we’ve thought about connecting buyer/seller feedback to a member’s profile. Interesting idea. We’ve set up a thread though which would be searchable as part of the Classifieds forum.

I think you missed “and the whole thing will be on sale as a package for $199 including life time updates, repairs and free travel to any dive destination”.

Thanks, Fabian! It would help me for sure!

I was talking about me going off topic, Massimo…

Thanks, Stig. Will add this.

We’re going way off topic, but my experience with the Kenko TC is that not all models work in combination with all lenses on all camera models. Maybe the HD Pro Premium fixes that. The HD Pro certainly didn’t. I posted a breakdown on Wetpixel a couple of years on what I found worked with what using the 300 and HD Pro models of the Kenko TC1.4, a Nikkor 8-15 and the Tokina 10-17 and a Nikon D500. I’ll repost that on a new thread about teleconverters.

Sure, Fabian. we can do that. We could also add Rebreather Support too if folks would find that useful.

Hi LGWV! Welcome aboard. Great to have you with us.

The Lightroom Queen are reporting updates to Lightroom Classic 13.2, Lightroom 7.2 and Mobile 9.2. Those have not appeared as yet on my package but no doubt will soon. Lightroom Classic 13.2, Lightroom 7.2 and Mobile 9.2 released These releases are primarily for new cameras and lens support, and a number of bugs are fixed in these releases. Lightroom Classic There are some additional features in Classic 13.2. These include: - Additional Sort Order options - Additional Filter and Smart Collection options - Some performance enhancements We would recommend it's safe to update to these versions immediately. As mentioned, there are quite a number of bug fixes. To check them and to see additional details on the Classic changes and the new camera/lens support, read our blog What's New in Lightroom Classic 13.2 & Lightroom Ecosystem (February 2024)?

greeneggs! Love the name. Welcome to Waterpixels - great to have you with us.

Hey Marc! Welcome to Waterpixels - great to have you with us. We hope you really enjoy the site. Have to say, I love the look of your hotel pool especially looking out on a great, bleak Amsterdam morning!

Welcome! I’m sure you’ll see lots of familiar names. Good to have you with us!

Correct: no access to home catalog while traveling. The edits exported with the travel catalog exported into the home catalog Switching between catalogs is straightforward.

I’m amazed anyone would write that the UWT trigger is not as well made. I’ve had an UWT in my Subal housings for about 10 years. The boards have been solid, well made, neat in construction, fitted perfectly in the housings and have behaved flawlessly. I have had the occasional minor problem with fixing the LEDs to the bulkheads but that’s not a UWT issue.

Following on from @Tino Dietsche’s suggestion, I’ve just this week moved to switching my whole catalog and library to an SSD. It goes back to the late 70s and has over 60k images totalling 1.4TB. As Tino suggests, now easily transportable and able to be switched between computers running the catalog off an SSD - which is passworded!

Hey Robert I’ve had the same dilemma a couple of times. I had a catalogue on my travel machine with a different name to that on my home machine. When I wanted to integrate Travel on to Home I did a Catalog Export on to an external hard disk followed by an import of that catalogue into the Home catalogue. Seemed to work fine.

Me too!

Agreed on the 15mm FE. The Sigma was my go-to wide-angle lens for a full frame sensor camera. I never found anything else useful - but then haven’t used wet lenses.

John, last time I looked there didn’t appear to be two different neoprene cover sizes - unlike the bumpers. The new bumpers look like the same size in terms of depth. I reckon there’s a gap of about 2mm with the covers on the new strobes with new bumpers installed. Barely worth worrying about.

Hey biodives! Great to have you with us. Welcome to Waterpixels.

I’m with Barmaglot. If you were starting from scratch then, yeah, Z8. But I’d doubt the cost of the upgrade would be worthwhile

Hey Tino! Welcome! We're delighted you've taken the step to join us rather than just reading the posts. 😄 We hope you'll make lots of contributions. Great to have you with us.

Totally agree with Chris on his point over most users and the 20-30 MP. We’re being sucked into manufacturers’ marketing hype and 35mm film hangover, for the vast majority of us, on using an FF underwater. Big, painful for traveling, expensive and not generally necessary. I really liked my D800 (FF) based system but for traveling an utter pain. Now on a DX-based system (D500), I’ve got smaller, so generally cheaper, lenses and ports, less weight and bulk - and I cannot see a difference in image quality on a 27” screen or in prints as far as A3.
