Hey Massimo
Good to see you here.
Interesting point - thanks. You can add all that info to your profile but, yeah, that doesn't seem to be showing up in posts.
We will pursue.
Many thanks - appreciated.
I'm sure you'll have great fun with the LSD - unless of course you beat it to death on some old coral first 🤪 They are amazing things.
Do post some pics when you're ready.
Hey John
Yeah, I know that aging thing.
I wear +1 or +1.5 glasses now for reading. I was finding problems reading the various labels on my housing and the top LCD. A visit to an optician told me that for that sort of distance I needed +2 which I then had fixed to the bottom half of a new mask. Works well although took some getting used to.
Like I say, half lenses in effect. I do wonder if you go with a full lens at +2 and you have good long distance vision (as I do), you may well start to feel nauseated over the length of a dive by the blurry long-distance vision. I think I'd be wary.
Hi Fritz
I got it directly from Miso. He is hard to reach for sure of late. I had an email from him today as I wanted him to know about Waterpixels. So maybe try again?
If you get no-where, give me a shout - you could have my V6. I'm now back from three years in the Caribbean and, very sadly, not sure how much diving I'm going to be doing. I've not even fitted the V6 into my housing yet.
Great to have you with us, Alex. We look forward too lots of insightful comments from you.
I'm tempted to say 60k images in a year is greedy - but that would be just jealousy.
I'm with you, Stig. There was a time when I'd dive in a bucket of mud (hello Crystal Waters, Essex) but, now.... if it ain't 28 in the water, I'm not there....
Welcome to the community. Stig! Great to have you with us.
I'm with JohnD to an extent on the "Boosters".
Got to say though, if I was using a snoot (I've got the LSD) on the Plus-Xs, I really felt the need to use a Supercharger. I usually found I had to crank up the power with snoot shots especially on the smaller masks and that chomped through the battery.
As John says, for the Boosters cost - and how little room they take up (bonus!) it's worth it and better to have them than not.
I find the focus light very good for macro and usually use one with the LSD and the macro rings. If you're in low viz water I find them good too with a reflector. Actually using a reflector and lowering the power in poor viz was a revelation. So much less backscatter.
