Lightroom CC Question - How to Delete from NAS
@TimG I believe that might just delete the first photo selected, so you need to repeat. Otherwise, once all have been selected, right click and there should be an option to DELETE ALL SELECTED PHOTOS. That will mass delete and allow you select Remove from Drive.

Let's see your website.
I've been using Adobe Portfolio for a while now and it does a decent job, and easy/ intuitive to use and allows for some organization of the albums, and it's free with the Photo package subscription.

Sony 90mm + CMC?
Thanks, that's what I was suspecting. I have a lot of experience with the 28-60mm and CMC-1 and -2, and they work really well. I've been experimenting with the 90mm and CMC-1, and just not having a lot of good success. Good inputs above though.

Sony 90mm + CMC?
Maybe a dumb question, but has any had success with the Sony 90mm macro + CMC-1? Or is SMC the way to go with that lens. I'm finding that I have to get really close, 90mm set on infinity focus, and even then, the focus depth is miniscule.

How do you pack your dive gear for travel?
I've been happy with a Stahlsac Clipper bag Wheeled Dive Luggage: Stahlsac Clipper Roller Bag Luggage and it's been to Chuuk, Hawaii a bunch, FL, Maldives, Indonesia, etc. It fits the general dive gear (3 or 5mm suit, reg, BC, fins, booties, and other misc items like float arms and my CCR Breathing hoses, then clothes for a week or so, coming in at about 45 lbs. So far the bag is holding up well including zippers.

WTB: Zen DP-100-N120CR for Canon 8-15
Chip, assume you looked at the 140mm dome as well? I was potentially looking at the very same configuration with 8-15 and the Zen100.

San Francisco_Tank_Smaller File.jpg
Nice pic, but as I recall, that tank sits at about 150' FSW, that's a pretty short dive on a single tank (no pun intended).

My supplier for experimental aviation avionics had their own branding which also seems applicable to the usual u/w photography suppliers: 🤔

Snoot advice
Only about 5 dives so far, but all works per design with no issues.

Snoot advice
I can attest that there's a steep learning curve but worth the effort. I had the prism-enabled cheaper snoot for the YS, but upgraded to the SOFT (non-lite version) with the YS-D3 mount ring. Its' a bit large and another bit of kit to carry around, but has a nice adjustable target beam that seems to work well. Learning how to target and align with the focus depth will take a little patience and practice.

A7RiV Nauticam Setup - sanity check
For the diopters, you could consider the bayonet mount instead of the flip holder. They do swap out very quick and might get some of the bulk off the front of that port when not in use. Just a consideration.

CFWA with the MWL
Really nice, Blue Heron Bridge?

Sea and Sea YS-D3 experiences
Been using a D3 for several years now in both tropical and cold water, and generally, it's been a solid strobe. I just had a minor flood in HI a month ago, but a bit of white vinegar to clean out the battery compartment, and a new cap and I'm back in business. Still don't know why it flooded but seems to have only been a partial as the strobe kept firing through the dive.

Advice on upgrade path: TG-6 to RX100VII, OM-1, a6700 ???
Just piling on to Humu's comment above, if you want to do the direction of a FF, the A7C is very close in size to the a6700, and likewise, the 1/160 sync speed doesn't seem to be an issue.

SLR to Mirrorless - Macro or WA first?
Just a consideration as a Puget Sound shooter, I shot the kit Sony 28-60mm with FF with the shorter port and bayonet fitting, adding the CMC-1 for macro, and that worked really well, but you need to get close. Coupled with a WWL-1B, it's a flexible kit that allows for days when viz and particulates in the water are better than expected. Later, I did move to the 90mm for a bit of stand-off capability, and that seems to be the time that a GPO shows up (it's always when you have the wrong lens). Just a thought.

Adobe Lightroom
OK, I see that for single LR sub. Interesting, I don't see the previous offer for the $9.99 LR/PS Photo package, but if you dig around, it's there under a Photography group. Adobe Creative Cloud Plans, Pricing, and Membershipnullnull

Adobe Lightroom
I've been a subscriber for a long time with the Photography package, but looking at options, it appears that the Photography pack with 1Tb storage is about $20, but only 7 desktop apps, vs. 13 for the $9.99 plan (20 Gb).

@Phil RudinWill that also work with YS-D1 and 3 via fiber?

Love the 90mm macro lens. Very nice pics.

Snooting
It's an interesting focus light that's adjustable in width, strobe seems to be hitting where it's pointed, just shooter's error on my part in getting it on target. Thanks for the link, good info and we'll try it again next weekend.

Snooting
Just got a new Marelux snoot to work with my Sony A7C, 90mm macro, and YS-D3 strobe. I'm shooting in Puget Sound, drysuit, and bulky dry gloves. I have a couple questions after today's first time out with the snoot. 1) With the battery and adjustment knob for beam width, what's the best way to store the snoot if not using? It barely fits in a Santi pocket, so I was thinking a short tether and clip it off. 2) What's the best way to aim the snoot? I had the snoot shooting center and overhead the target, but getting the beam to center where the macro focus point sets, is a challenge which took a bit of fidgeting. Any helpful hints other than practice? Any good words of wisdom for those with more experience? Shots below were first time out and I got a bit lucky with the frosted nudi as the beam was a little to the left.

Sony FE 24-50mm f/2.8 G announced
It will be interesting to see if it works with the WWL as well, or will it just have significant vignetting?
