What about benefits, if any, on crop APS-C size sensors? For instance, Nikon DX and my favourite 60mm macro lens. Does anyone have a field experience using the MFO-1 and the Nikon/Canon crop sensor cameras?

I am using mine on the Canon R7 using the 60mm and RF100m works very good on both lens

Same subject showing close up and at distance     Canon R7 with 60mm .Very impressed  i have tried it with the 100mm in a big swell but very happy with the out come. Subject size 20mm

Hi Hugh there are adaptors available .  https://www.aoi-uw.com/products/lens-ports/aoi-ad-lp-01.html

As an R7 user ,the 10-17 is a very sharp lens i stopped using the WWL finding it a bit soft compared to the 10-17mm.

Another added bonus is the camera sync's with the flash at 1/ 400 and no black line across the bottom of your photographs try it and find out ,i had no problems with Inon z240 and Retra pro     

Photograph settings iso 400  f/18   1/400sec  

Enjoy playing with the R7

Similar, I’m sure. The Subal and Nauticam viewfinders have a threaded end to them. A large circular, threaded retaining ring screws on to the viewfinder threads inside the housing and holds it place. Subal use two o-rings on the shaft of the viewfinder to prevent water ingress into the housing. 
 

To remove the viewfinder you unscrew the retaining ring and gently pull the viewfinder out. To refit, push the viewfinder back through the hole in the housing back and refit the retaining ring and tighten gently. 

Old school threaded rings most Nauticam one have an O ring remove push out viewfinder , less than a minute to remove and replace .

Thank you Osker   I found out by accident and then watched a Retra video by Alex Mustard and he turned the dial and it flipped .many thanks for the reply.

Yes guys thank you very much i had just discovered this while playing with the strobe ,turn all the way to the U setting and back and it flipped .normally only used in manual. As Tim  said now feeling stupid but this is the idea of Waterpixel to help us stupid old folk.😀

Hi all ,

A friend has just bought some Retra Pro Max strobe and one of the Led screens is upside down, bearing in mind i have had mine for about 6 months and as i have not been night diving didn't notice i have one upside-down ,anyone else ?

Thanks for the photo. Do you use both? Stix and float. 

Hi John ,i use the Stix floats but i don't like the Stix arms as you can see in the photograph my arm are slightly bigger but the STIX floats have different insets

Chip made an excellent suggestion in another post about having a pair of the longer clamps to use with arms fitted with Stix. 
 

I don’t have these for my system but if I was starting from scratch I’d have a pay for connecting the pairs of arms fitted with Stix. 
 

I don’t think you need them for the other connections. 

These are the Nautical ones i use they make all the difference when you have Stix floats fitted

Thanks - this resolves one main question I had.     This will be the main lens I use and getting this right is key.    I assume the moment i go with an EF lens, I will need a N85-N120mm adapter, right?

I use the R7 you would need the 100-120 adapter to use the 10-17mm with a mini dome ,add a 10mm spacer and yo could then use the Canon 8-15mm from the 9mm . Another nice thing about the R7 using the Nauticam flash you can sync your strobes up to 400th sec i have a few friend that use Z240 and Retra strobes makes a difference shooting into the sun
