Dave: Did you replace the cap? BVA

We are off to Flasher Beach in Triton Bay. I am pretty sure that the MFO will get me the same number of good shots as without it, meaning zero in either case. I will try to shoot some little stuff with and without to see what we see. Bill

No blackwater for us on this trip. Tomorrow I will put it on a flip adapter and shoot with and without. In my hands at least it is a bit faster focusing (still not fast) with the 45 Pana/Leica but sharpness doesn't seem to improve very much but we will see. Bill

Its a long swim, good luck. Bill

Jeff: We need shots with and without the MFO. BVA

Well it works fine for a u4/3 at 60 mm, close enough to 90 on APS-C. Not sure that it really extends the focus range though. You will need more flotation, on a flip adapter it is quite heavy. The spine cheek was shot with the Panasonic 45 on an OM-1 with the MFO Bill Bill

We are on the Welleneeng, today we did Nudi Rock, Whale Rock and Wedding Cake. On the way to Kaimana/ Triton Bay Bill

Well all the AOI strobes have mostly doubled in the last few weeks. I would wait and see a bit. I have their smaller strobes and am very happy, Bill

We are in Misool right now, a fair bit of bleaching, but no where near as bad as Dampier at Christmas Bill

You will know if you need it. On some ports, the lens will hit the glass before it is screwed in all the way. That needs the spacer; if the lens doesn't hit without the spacer you are good to go. Bill

For things to do for a less intense diver, Bali is probably a great choice. Diving all over the island is great and you can set up a pretty nice dive Safari that will pick you up and deliver you to dive sites all over. Dive with the Tribe in Bali (started by Mike Veitch, a Canadian) is awesome. Bill

I would suggest Hawaii. There are good (but not awesome) macro diving off the big island and some nice black water. Going anywhere outside the country is a risk, I would definitely check with her OB/GYN but you would never get over it if something bad happened to an unborn baby because of a dive trip. Bill

I think you got lots of people excited with your title OM-1-ii which this isn't. If it were I would buy it right now. Bill

Fisheye fix (now Sea and Sea). The only light with complete adjustability in 1% increments. I have been using one for many years, I have not seen the S&S version in person but it looks identical with different decals (and a lower price). Bill
