and no Canon 🥴

A smile of a woman help... for sure. 😜

Thanks That is the next step... in the pool ;)

I hope you enjoy reading the building process of my new snoot. One point I find that the position of the lens, the lenght of the tube and other details are very important. 5 mm change a lot but It seems that the actual setup is good now.

I allready build some test parts to put on the top of the snoot to change the focus, size and the shape of the light. I'm not happy of the first test I need to make some more experimentation. The idea also to made a add-on with a diaphragme in it. to change the size of the spot light. All this part will be stackable But for the moment I need to test the main part of the snoot under water to be sure that it is correctly sealed and to show the result of the light output.

Hi The project is one step futher. I sealed the lens and glass with silicon. After that I glued the pieces together with epoxy and cover it with epoxy to ensure that no water is going in the snoot. I screwed the 2 part together.. there is an O-Ring. That is the result. As you ca see there are no reflexion the circle is clean

Sorry "If you want the STL feel free to ask me"

Hi Alex What will be the job of the MFO-2 ? Hugues

I'll follow this subject then i'm looking for a fisheyes solution for my R5.

Hi I build 1 or 2 years ago this connector The target of this item is to bring the FO cable near of the arm without a large amount of cable and avoid to break it if it is catched in someting Easy to remove And the small black part is allways protecting the cell of the Retra The FO is going into the arm.. clean On the top coming out and go in the big floating arm and again comes out near of the housing where the FO is attach with my selfmade connector All this pieces are printed with TPU If want want the stl feel free to ask me. Hugues

I have only one catalog it work really good. And that on a more than 0 years "old" PC under windows 10 with 32 GB RAM. 18.6 GB for all the pictures I took over the years 164720 pictures I agree with you it is a great feature of LR to be able searching ALL my picture in one step... and that very fast.

It's not totaly false. 20 TB or more for less as 400 € I looked on my drive. over the last years I used "only" 800 GB in 1 year... I shoot a lot and for the moment didn't delete more than 5 % of the raw Why? Disk space is sheap I can probably delete more than 50 % and why not 80 % of the picture but it take time and i don't have time for that.

Hi @Muellema Ok I understand... sometimes you got the "wrong" item... in this case :( In France we say "a monday car" if you have with a new car a lonnnnggggg list of problems... you got a "monday strobe" I realy hope that the 2 Max II I will receive are "good" items. But I agree if you have a lot of problem Retra should replace your strobe

I found you are realy negativ against the Retra strobes.. why ???

Thank you for the explanation. In the past I shooted with a canon G5x... I founded some limits. Ok it is now an old model That is why I moved for a R5 Main point no delay clic --> photo that change my life but you are absolutly right.. heavy, big etc... not very time the best choice. Perhaps in the futur I ll show a smaller solution to replace my "old one" R5.

It's better ❤️

OK same reason as for land animal shooting with the multiplication factor of the focal lenght ... but "better" camera with a FF (depending of the type of photo you want to take. ). I'll stay with my FF 🤪

Intersting... why ? wich aspect ?

question witch month ?beetween 23 and 30 °C there is a little difference. I allway dive with a rashguard when the water T° is 26 or more under 26 i need to take a 3 mm or more but I speak form situation where the T° is under 10 °C

No doubt in this case that the MFO increase the quality Thanks for this comparaison

Before the MFO I build a sytem in 3D Printing who allowed me to switch under water the focus limiter, but it didn't work perfectly... now with the MFO I removed the switch system from my lens... I put the MFO most of the time or flip away to flip the SMC-1 but since I have the MFO I can't remember that I shoot without a lens. Sorry I forgot to say Canon R5 with RF100 in Isotta housing

???? stange I was in 2022 (short after a hurican) and end of 2024 I can remember broken coral but bleaching, perhaps a little. Yes nice walls and a lot of turtles

Probably you are right. I can't say if the MFO-1 increase the quality with the R5 + RF100, but and that is very important for me it will limit the focus range... That so good in a wide range of situations I win a lot of time/opportunity to make nice shoots.

Not to cold, the only problem is that we need to take other wetsuite (or dry ? ;) ) with us. Probably Cold = more species and quantity underwater. Right?

Yes Bohol... Anda in the south east. :)
