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. :)

"Problem" solved 🤪

Why did say that? Moalboal OK I was last year, not bad with the sardine, otherwise it's a "normal" destination for diving. Coron I don't know Malapascua Ok for the sharks and then ? They are so many places ... so many point of interest... every divers have other.. The question is for me : What is the best dive center/guide.... that will make the difference A good guide will find and show you the Things you need to see. Otherwise a beautifull diving place can be boring.

Not the case on my lenses that i use underwater the RF10-20 and the RF100. Ok the rf14-34move a little bit but since I have the 10-20 ...

Wouah it's probably not the best, but the price are realy good

I read the mail a second time ... hummm the offer is with booster and and and... not bad. but I order 2 retra maxi.... 😥

Hummm When you change to focal you also change the lenght of the lense... :(

Thanks for this informations. My wife is also not intersted to dive only muck dive she "need" also coral reefs and fishes. turtles Is february a good period?

Retra Flash Pro Max II Shipping starts on 30th June - no delays! Hummm I'm waiting for my Maxi since... no nothing $1,799.00 USD¹ 🤪 + 50 % tax in the US ☠️ for the moment 🤣

Like the other I do the same. I can confirm that it is really easy to mount and dismount the viefinder.

No... it's only for the fun thatz I do that... but the reader can be inspired from my realisation :)

The snoot is shorter as the previous 15 cm and also lighter. With the volume it will be positive under waterand with a carabiner can be attached where it will float and did not disturb anything. I will probably make in a second step a small extension with a diaphragm in it to have the possibility of changing the size of the light. The main changes in the new snoot is to bring a maximum of the light from the strobe to the ouput the different lenses concentrate the light step by step in the midle.. This will reduce the power need of the strobe. and with more power I will be able to shoot at F22 to increase the deep of field on very small subject. Comment and question are welcome ( idea also :) )

With one extension and a lens in it (not strong magnification) An other experimentation Now I need to try other combination, make some small extension to find different size of light, edges, types After that the step of mount all this part with silicon an epoxy before going to test it underwater.

20 cm from the wall diameter of the light 20 cm 10 cm -> +/- 10 cm 5 cm -> 7-8 cm This picture are with the retra focus light first power level

Some more infomation A ) is a glas from this type The idea is to dispatch the light generate with the flash to avoid a hot point (circle with my retra) And for the Retra Maxi the 2 line (i'm still waiting for it ;) ) B ) a fresnel lens to concentrate all the light on a disk C C ) a glas D) a normal glas, or a lens test are not finished C & D are all 50 mm diameter glas + lens Between C and D I can put an try some diffrent lenses (focal lenght and type of lenses)

First picture After the test if all is ok I ll make a new one without the sepration to gain some gr To be coutinued...
