Terrific post Dave! Pinned.

Thanks to everyone for the offer of help. Chris was the fastest and the result is perfect. It's not like they were some amazing photos. Just simple illustrative frames. Let's hope it was worth the effort. Thanks again

Yes, probably. Moreover nowadays nobody print anything. All marketing and published material is on the web.

For video work, a 60mm (120mm of FF) is really usable only in tripod.

Not bad for a first attempt. I notice that in many clips there are parts where the focus is not perfect or the camera reacquires focus. Therefore, I would suggest you take more care with the editing, using only the stable and in-focus parts. The 30mm is a very versatile lens. The most common criticism is that it reaches maximum magnification only when in contact with the port. But that is a non-issue: we do not necessarily always need the maximum magnification! It depends on the subjects, and also consider that the M43 system has the best macro selection overall with 60-90-120mm (FF equivalents).

I don't know what they didn't like. It's a film festival and I had with them only formal exchanges. I shared a folder with 5 good 4k frames and they replied to me that for promotional material they need 300 dpi images. I tried with my vintage Photoshop and results were meh

Thank you indeed. I will PM you soon

Yes it's 3840x1920 but they didn't like it and while I have a collection of NLE software and even a video upscaler, I have a vintage Photoshop 3.

I have been asked for a high-resolution photo (300 dpi) for a poster for one of my videos. I only have a photo extracted from a frame at 72 dpi. I tried with an old version of Photoshop but the result is not great. Is there any kind soul who has AI upscaling software and can convert a jpg for me? Thank you in advance

As I wrote I have that one and I've been using it for years: nice indeed but forget to attach/detach it underwater

Hi Ben, Welcome aboard!

I have the same monitor and I use the cold shoe on top of my housing with a long clamp. On my previous jousing I had a 10Bar crossbar but I had to change the 1" ball mounts on the housing.

Hi Rustico, Welcome aboard!

M43 user here. I used the 7-14 mm and 6" dome or 14-42 mm and WWL-1. Regardless of the lens/dome combination used the most important thing is a neutral buoyancy camera setup. Of course, a large dome will create more drag. It depends on the scooter too... 😉
