It's so easy from France, Flo. Non-stop, daily flights from CDG - twice a day sometimes! Similarly easy from Amsterdam: 3 times a week.

Yep, go into your Profile, select Account Settings and you'll see Country as a tab. with that you can change the settings and flag.

Keep those abbreviations coming! Brilliant!

Excellent, Mark. Our role in life is to help members spend money..... And, yeah, I'm sure you'll change your mind many times. That's all good thought, right, as you read more and get more and more into it.

I started the same route as you guys with a cooler. But after several rusted out zips and leaks, bit the bullet and bought the Cinebags Grouper. Yeah, expensive but money well spent. I’ve used it a couple of times even as my system carry-on bag on flights. As a bag to carry gear onto and store on a dive boat, it is excellent.

I will collate and post.

Home made snoot? We need a picture, Jef!

So far, so good. The response has been terrific.

Sure saves time, Ido! The edit element I think amazing. Total picture creation, not so much. For now. But doubtless it will be before long.

Super idea! We can do that. A job for me after Christmas Meantime: CFWA: Close focus. Wide-angle MFT: micro four-thirds FCP: Final Cut Pro WACP: wide-angle conversion port

Really glad youve joined us! A warm welcome.

Hey Al, great to have you with us. Welcome!

Mike, if you click on the 3-dot ellipsis on the right hand side that should offer you a menu which includes Edit.

lol, I wish I still was! Just spent 3 years in Solitary nt Maarten but now back in chilly Amsterdam.

Yep, nice! My suggestion would be to shoot up as much as you can rather than level or shooting down.

As Dave says, I’ve found Toslink works well too. But, yep, doesn’t bend as easily which does limit the type of connectors you can use. The L ones are problematic.

Great to have you with us , Florence. Welcome!

Great to have you with us Sergio. Welcome!

Super pic, Chris!

Good to have you with us, Brandon!

Great to have you with us, Bronson. Welcome!

So VERY true!

Was there life before spreadsheets? I think that's a good call on the rectilinear vs aluminium body, Mark. You may well find you don't need a rectilinear. In addition, if you do buy one, you will need a bigger and more expensive domeport than a 100mm one that would work perfectly well for the Tokina. For example an APS-C/DX sensor camera using a rectilinear lens will likely need an 8" domeport and a ?50mm extension ring.

Hi Mark Good to know its been of help Ikelite housings: the big differences are price and, depending on which model/camera, size. Ikelites are usually made of polycarbons and are often boxier with possibly less access to some camera controls. Chris will correct me, but I’m not sure Ikelite housings necessarily have ports allowing fibre optic connections to strobes. By contrast, the aluminium housings Subal, Nauticam, Aquatica…. , tend to follow the form of the camera body more closely and are more compact as a result. Generally all camera controls can be accessed and usually in a very ergonomic way. Both optical and electric strobe initiation is usually possible. I must admit my preference would be to go for an aluminium housing but many use Ikelite and enjoy the company’s reputation for good customer service. Tamron lens? Do you mean Tokina? If you go with the Tokina 10-17 I’d suggest holding off on a rectilinear lens till you’ve used the Tokina for a while and then reassess.
