Isn't Port 27 M67? I would like to get some feedback from you on its underwater use. That 100mm is truly a gem and it is tiny.

Solo friendly dive center in France/Italy
Hi Fabian, If you go a bit further south into Tuscany, you will find Argentario Divers, where I usually dive. They do not just promote standard diving; they have dozens of technical divers with rebreathers who visit daily. It is open every day and has Trimix refills and everything else you might need. It is perhaps the largest diving center in Italy.

M43 vs MEDIUM FORMAT - comparison of quality digital & print
I came across this video (a bit long for my taste) that revisits the eternal debate between Full Frame and cropped formats, and the alleged loss of quality for us "normal" enthusiasts. Here, the comparison is even more extreme because we are talking about an excellent but older M43 camera as the Panasonic G9, medium format digital cameras like the Fujifilm GFX 50S, and medium format film cameras. The guy evaluates the image quality by looking at digital files and physical prints measuring 16x20 inches. Because the digital files were cropped to a square ratio to match the film camera, the magnification level of the prints equals a larger 26x20 inch format. During the evaluation, the MF digital camera displays finer details and smoother rendering. On close inspection of the physical prints, the medium format images show more distinct lettering and sharper elements. When observing the prints from a normal viewing distance, the results from the M43 and the MF cameras appear identical. It is necessary to stand very close and examine the prints side by side to notice the variations. Without having two prints next to each other, it is difficult to identify which camera system captured the image. The video also notes that using AI upscaling software on M43 images produces results that approach native medium format resolution. The software can sometimes introduce minor visual artifacts. The M43 system maintains an advantage in portability, as a full medium format kit would be larger and heavier. He observes that elements such as composition, focus placement, and aperture selection have a larger impact on the final image than the camera format.

Monitor Recommendation for Lightroom and Video Editing?
Unfortunately 32" is really too much for my desk. I'm leaning to the 27" version which has a perfect color coverage for my video editing needs.

GoPro 12 with AOI UWL-03 vs Sony A6400 with 10-18mm f/4 lensD
I don't understand: are these video SOOC or you CC in post? IMHO they are ok as a starting point but they still have a strong blue cast.

Preview of the Retra Maxi Strobe
Please everyone, let us avoid personal attacks and, if there is still more to discuss, let us return to the technical aspects! Some of our members have done their absolute best to test these strobes to the best of their ability, but none of us is a certification body. I am sure that the tests performed, despite their limitations, combined with your own personal experience can give you a clear idea for your next purchase. And anyway, my G.A.S. has never wanted too much technical information. I just swipe the card and that is it! 😉

CINEMATIC Underwater Videos with ANY Action Camera? Is it possible or we just lower our standards?
It's straight out of the conspiracy theorist playbook. When I see those classic titles, or ones like "I've always done it wrong until xxx told me to do this" or "Watch this trick and you'll never live without it again" I skip the video by default. And if I’m not feeling too lazy, I even block the channel, because anyone who uses these kinds of titles doesn't deserve my attention.

Twenty years on YouTube and I still don't have a clue what 'cinematic' is supposed to mean. I'd wipe that word from the face of the earth if I could. To your typical underwater YouTuber, "cinematic" is just 50 fps slow-motion that looks like the ocean is on Valium. On land if it isn't true 24 fps with anamorphic flares, it doesn't count. It’s ridiculous. The rest of the video is just clickbait. Title and thumbnail are clearly designed to feed the algorithm

Monitor Recommendation for Lightroom and Video Editing?
Currently, no monitor on the market can fully reproduce the Rec.2020 color space. Even reference panels reach around 80–90% coverage. Consequently, editing in Rec.2020 requires relying on software scopes instead of your eyes to preserve color data that today's hardware cannot yet physically display. Basically you are doing it mainly for future-proofing. You are saving mathematical color data today so that in 10 years, when MicroLED displays arrive, those colors will finally become visible. 🤡 When it comes to on-screen display, both DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB are superior to sRGB, which is a relic of the past—though like all standards, it refuses to die. However, if we look at printing, A-RGB is better because its color space covers everything that printing papers can reproduce (Adobe designed it specifically with this in mind). DCI-P3 misses out on some of the blues and greens that printing papers are capable of reproducing. DCI-P3 was originally created for digital cinema projectors. It extends significantly into the Reds and Yellows (perfect for skin tones and warm lighting), but it falls short on Cyans and Greens compared to A-RGB.

Yes Benq are very good indeed. I have two of them since 2018 and they work flawlessly. I'm changing them to upgrade to native 4k.
