  1. I've got upgrade-itis and want to sell my two Retra Pro X strobes and their accompanying Superchargers and attached bumper guards. Very low use ~53 total dives. Flash count as per attached App images. ALL parts are in excellent condition,with a few signs of use, extremely well cared for, never leaked, no issues. Both strobes are updated regularly and are current with the latest firmware. ONLY trying to sell to upgrade to Retra Pro Max. The strobes and Superchargers come with all the original accessories and boxes (only one Supercharger box), ball mounts, spare o-rings, o-ring lubricant etc. [Images proving function and App screen captures indicate batteries in use in strobes - NO batteries are included with sale.] These are excellent strobes and if they don’t sell are headed with me for an upcoming trip! $2250 USD Paid via Zelle or Wire transfer ONLY. - Price includes insured 2Day shipping to a CONUS USA FedEx Office Hold location nearest you. - ANY other shipping arrangements at actual cost to the buyer - I will ship internationally, but additional shipping and insurance costs, and any import duties, taxes, etc are solely the buyer’s responsibility.
  2. I know I'm on a "boring old DSLR" (Nikon D850), but I shoot only prime lenses with one exception: Nikon 16-35 Otherwise: Nikon 105 - favorite prime for macro Sigma 15FE Nikon RS13 - favorite prime for WA
  3. From personal experience only: Yes - There is a difference between a Saga flip adapter and a Nauticam flip adapter. I experienced the same gap with Saga and found in various situations that my wet lens was not square with the lens port, and therefore sold my Saga to get a Nauticam.
  4. Thank you everyone for your input. 4 meters of cable ordered - will try a 2m cable for the remotely held snoot/strobe.
  5. I've tried snoot macro shots before with some (minimal) success and feel "aiming" the snoot is most of the battle for me. On an upcoming trip I should have the ability to do repeated macro dives with super-helpful Indonesian dive guides. I really appreciated the recent WaterPixels article about making your own fiberoptic cable. What would be suggested for the optimum length for a fiberoptic cable for the snoot strobe aimed by an "assistant"?
  6. This is exactly my reasoning for NOT making the switch to mirrorless yet. I have an Andrej converted RS13 and shoot Nikon D850. It makes no sense personally for me to go to a system that would have me lose my favorite WA lens. I was a super late adopter of D850, shooting D800 waiting for the D850 replacement than never came. The abilities of the camera far exceed my abilities as a photographer so no personal need to chase technology.
  7. Another person coming over from WP. Been diving since 1984 - First camera Olympus 2020 in 2001 - made the jump to DSLR Nikon D90, Nikon D800, now JUST jumped into a Nikon D850. Have a photo-sharing website with all underwater images @ www.rkburtonphotography.com Safe diving everyone!
