Welcome Oskar!

Looks great Dave, did you do any speed testing on them? I assume they must be close to specs as they are performing well.

I do see the service manual links don't work as the archive didn't download them. Perhaps you could link them or add them to this thread?

Many threads such as this can be found on the web archive, here is the thread as archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20230127185242/https://wetpixel.com/forums/index.php?/topic/54607-do-15mms-need-servicing/&tab=comments#comment-399921 We do need to be careful copying threads as I believe we need the permission of each contributor to copy it, but we are free to link to it and the archive is likely to be more permanent.

Good to have you here Ian.

Hi Peter, good to see you here. Looks like your cyclone may head a bit north of you.

There are various ways to correct colour in lightroom the most basic being colour temperature and tint adjustments. Colour temperature is blue-yellow and tint is magenta - green balance. So shifting to yellow removes blue and to magenta removes green. The torch needs to be surprisingly bright as it needs to overpower ambient light, the best way to increase its impact is to have it much closer to the subject. The ultimate solution though is adding a strobe, which is way more powerful than a torch.

welcome Wolfgang, good to see you here!

For me the question is " is there life without tea?"😂

Great project, thanks for posting the results.

An alternative I have seen used around Sydney dive sites is a regular pair of specs without side arms mounted on a go pro type mask clamp on your mask that you can flip up and down as required.

Great to see you here Alex!

I'm Chris Ross, from Helensburgh just south of Sydney, happy to be involved in establishing this new community, I was previously one of the Wetpixel moderators. I do much of my diving around Sydney so I can dive all year round and also enjoy dive travel. Look forward to establishing this site as a great resource for all interested in UW imaging.

Nice video Ben, hopefully you'll see a good improvement with your new macro lens.
