  15. Same experience for me, Dave. Never the slightest issue, and no hesitation in recommending the 60mm and the 105mm. Great lenses

  17. Definitely an upgrade from the Inon Z240. Can't say though from the Z330. If you are snooting, the circular flash tubes of the Retra with the centralised pilot light made a world of difference over the Z240. Are you pleased with the Marelux pro snoot? Looks very cool and I really like the idea of the adjustable aperture. Does that work ok? I've heard anecdotally that the iris mechanism can be problematic.
  18. Great to have you with us, Oskar. You and Retra are most welcome.

    Welkom, buurman! Great to have you with us, Gerard. Local diving? Scotland diving? Man, you must have in-built central heating...... 🥶
  20. Just picking up Wolfgang's point, moderating on "Another Website", I did see an awful lot of issues surrounding Sea&Sea strobes. I know you've had a good experience with yours, Landvogt, but I'd be a bit wary of them if I was in the market for new strobes. Rarely read of an problem with Inons and Retra.
  21. Get your money back! 🤯

    Very cool! I dived 'statia from SXM and really enjoyed it. I can well imagine on those cold waters. Brrrrr.......
  23. Hey Crittermad27 Well done on the Retras. Yeah, cool eh? Assuming you have the Max, Pro or Prime X models: Pilot light - just push the button in the centre of the coloured illuminator. Press it once for pilot light to be on 50%, twice for 100%, 3 times for Off. Bumpers: yep, they need a bit of a push but that's deliberate of course to stop them sliding off. Try a bit of silicone grease or even soap to help get them on. I think Retra recommend you take them off after dives to clean the strobe. I'm a neat-freak with my gear and soak everything after dives but must admit I did not take the bumpers off at all over 250 dives - and the strobes still looked as good as new when I sold them a few weeks ago - to help finance Pro Maxs....... I LOVE the LSD snoot and on the Retras with the aiming light, the learning curve isn't too great.
