  1. The reflector is acting kind of like a lens, so that is not a surprise. The material of the reflector probably is not as important as the surface polish/ reflectivity.
  2. If there are no optics (lenses etc.) involved it is hard to believe that the reduction rings create photons
  3. I think we were talking about a separate focus light going off when the strobe flashed, not the video light on for example the HF

    For Sale $1,500.00 Honolulu, HI

    The AOI UWL lens, where is the scratch?

  5. My take is that it is not visible in 90+ percent of all shots. I have used the Fix Neo with NO auto off and the S&S version of the same light with auto off and can't see a difference.
  6. I think the IQ of the 45 is the best of all the macro options, but in Black Water it misses lots of shots trying to focus. It is probably my most used lens.
  7. There is a nice looking Isotta OM-1 for sale here

    Say hello to Mike/Luca from Nannette and Bill

  9. 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
  10. 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

    One for sale here today as I assure you have seen. Bill

  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. If you need a charger ping me. I have one you could get pretty cheaply Bill
  16. My understanding is the FLP-06 is a glass port, not acrylic. BVA
  17. Even the cheap colored Ali express clamps are 1/4 20, not metric Bill
  18. Alex: Are you volunteering?
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. If you still need it, I will give it a go in 3 different AI upscaling approaches. BVA
