You didn't know anything of Switzerland otherwise you wouldn't say that. It's hard to live and work in CH. Salary is high BUT all are expensive.

No no... i'm a patriot... but for flying I didn't trust french airline/airport ... I mainly fly from Switzerland ... strike is a unkwon word for the people in Zurich

Like Singapore Air the "best" compagny is Air France 12 KG in economy. but you have other problem, you are never sure that they will not strike

I had a problem 3 weeks ago when I made the checkin in Zurich with Singapore Air. It was the first time he asked that I put by backpack to see the weight.... 15 KG... ( less than normal, the I didn't have the dome then for Lembeh ;) ) Normaly it is 18 kgs...... Big discussion... but finally it was ok. It is harder and harder to travel.... We had enough weight available with 2 x 30 kgs + 2 x10 extra as frequent flyers... and with 3 laggage we had "only" 55 kgs.... --> 25 kgs available ... but I was not acceptable to put my R5 housing in the laggage.

Yes CFExpress 1GB but I use allways the same 512 GB SDcard... (have some backup just in case with me. I'm not making backup from the pictures every days on the SSD.. "only" after 3 or 4 days diving and then with the Lightroom xmp. I used when I'm back at home the SSD to transfer the data to my RAID over my home PC. Before I bought the new Surface pro I had some free space problems... (only 512 GB in the old Surface) not because the picture, but the vdeo my wife took. With one TB SSD in the new Surface... and for a small trip it will be enough... but for a trip of 3 weeks... I'll prabably run out of disk space.

I m also travelling with 2 Samsumg T7 from 1 TB to backup (2 times) the pictures transfered. That my R5 have 2 card I only empty one the other hold all the pictures (1 TB) Backup baclup backup..... it's important.

same remark as @Dave_Hicks a Surface Pro with Intel CPU not ARM.

I fully agree this idea... I'm using since years now Suface Pro. I have the last model with Intel Processor... with 1 TB HD...Good screen light and It is a REAL PC under Windows 11.

I have an old Isotta housing for my canon G5x... and since 4 year an Isotta with my Canon R5. I'm happy with it... it is a brand from Europe and in the actual situation It is important for me to buy "local".

I noticed that the size of the 7-14 is more or less the same as the 10-20... Good point

As Canon R5 user i'm really happy that Canon bring this lens at the market. I'm waiting the first test on land... and after underwater. As already say I'm using the rectilinear 10-20 mm... I never used fisheyes.. You all are so happy with this fisheyes that I need to test it... I want to show the difference it makes. Not sure i'll be happy for some dive where I take such pictures,where a fisheyes will deform the line

Not sheap .... but if it is a good lens... ;)

No I have the RF10-20 mm Very happy with it... rectilinear... some here didn't like rectilinear... I'm really happy with that. But as soon the new RF7-14 will be available... I probably try it... no sure I'll appreciate it.. but I need to try a fisheyes .. I'm allready have th RFx2 extender if it work with the new RF7-14... why not make test with booth together.

Very interesting part we find here... What I like are not the part (they are good) but the idea from the other... They are so many different methode / concept... I really need to start again building my own parts... .but since 3 month... no time... to many work at work... I need holiday

I was one time at Dive Into Lembeh.. it's ok... 3 times at the Black Sand Dive Retreat (500m south of the DIL) also good and cheaper In a short time I'll try the Solitude it will be probably better (I hope) as the BSDR. All this resort are prefectly organised for the photographe and the guides are realy good for macro.
