Thanks, I see that it might work but Saga is mostly not communicating right now. Interesting that the Bluewater description talks about 67 mm thread on the port which her port doesn't have. BVA

The head that Lauren showed is actually insert molded and can't be fixed. Dave's connectors will work as will the Inon Bushings or the angled connectors from Howshot. Bill

I have one, but I much prefer the 90 finder. The 180 at least for what I shoot is a bit hard for me to find things with. Bill

It took me a while to get over the lack of a 45 finder but I find (except for Blackwater) the AOI 90 degree finder is fine for macro. Bill

A friend is shooting Subal and has the FP-75/3 port for her 60 mm lens. She wants to add a diopter, but the port has no threads. Is there a push-on/3d printed holder to make that happen? Thanks Bill

If you need a charger ping me. I have one you could get pretty cheaply Bill

My understanding is the FLP-06 is a glass port, not acrylic. BVA

Even the cheap colored Ali express clamps are 1/4 20, not metric Bill

Alex: Are you volunteering?

I think the spirals are the egg cases of the copepod, not the copepod itself. We have video where you can see blood flowing through the parasite when the fish's heart beats. Bill

Does it go constant yellow? If it is flashing yellow no joy, if it is flashing yellow/red no joy. Not an issue I have seen. Bill

If you still need it, I will give it a go in 3 different AI upscaling approaches. BVA

They are my wife's, she has all the talent in the family. Bill

Dave: Didn't you make some Inon knob add ons? BVA

I think there are Inon knobs from Dave H, here on waterpixels for 3d printing. If I remember correctly, it is a roll pin that you push out with a simple punch. I can do it for you when we get home. BVA

we are on the Samambaia right now, leaving Triton to go up to Ambon. Went over to visit, Leeza is still there running the place with Nurul Yazid a phenomenal photographer. We have been for a total of 8 weeks and going back next year. There are a couple of Triton Bay videos on www.blueviews.net Still no aircon but there is now 24 hour electricity. Bill

I have talked to Scott and while they list it as in stock it certainly isn’t and they have no contact with Recsea. Nannette needs a new housing and I am trying to find one

Looking for a Recsea housing for Sony ax53/ax55. I know you have one sitting in your closet. Price negotiable. Bill

Our lab uses lots of fiber optics for a variety of medical applications. The cutting tool that I showed costs about $12 and gets you a very nice square cut. Modern strobes for the most part are pretty sensitive, but bad cuts often meant that the older S&S strobes were iffy. Bill

For new strobes I vote for AOI, there is a very neat new snoot for the AOI that has a variable iris, not little sliding plastic bits (but no star or heart😃) Bill

The AOI trigger (at least the Olympus one) is IR based, not much brightness to see. I have had NO issues with the AOI and the MF1 Bill the ==
