Looks like only you can make that decision. But it always sucks that when you move in another direction what you wanted comes out. I’ve found that if you have older gear you can make it work even without the latest and greatest tech.

@atus Excellent! That’s a cool place but very popular, eh?

How short-sighted on AOI’s part. I would rethink ever buying anything with their name on it.

That’s lovely. Thanks.

I, too, vote for the Inon S220 seems a good choice for its size and power. Also, consider the Backscatter MF-2 or 3. They shoot TTL with Olympus and definitely good for fish portraits and certainly macro. You can press them into action with wider lenses but that’s not ideal.

Aloha and welcome @AquaZ !

Yikes! That doesn’t look good! I’m sure it will be better when a proper case if available.

I had a dual pane exterior window in my flat lose its integrity some years ago. I didn’t bother with it for years as the condensation dried and calcified. When I finally took it apart, after I tired of looking through fogged glass, it was too late to save.

The A6700 is pretty good, eh? I love mine but don’t have a housing for it as yet. Very sad about Light & Motion. I liked their lights.

Agree with Davide: the CMC-2 is much easier to use. I tend to dive with that versus the CMC-1, which is taking up space in a drawer gathering dust. I also liked using the Inon 165, which are easily stacked if you want more magnification.

@Underwater with Art Aloha and welcome. Very cool background. Curious, what are you using for video at work?

Aloha and welcome @Davichin !

I ordered my stuff!

<<<I just don't care if the AI model makers (or humans, even) download my images and use them for anything, but for people who made a living doing this, it's going to be tough.>>> If we don’t care about the origin of images, then we add to the morass of fake imagery. That’s of course if we care. I do.

That’s fantastic! Thanks for that.

Aloha and welcome @ScubaUW1223 !

The older viewfinders will require an adapter that fits through the plexiglass on the back of the housing. I had to do that with for my Nauticam A7c housing. I think monitors are a great but bulky choice. I’m looking at trying one, as I am also trying to shoot more video.

Aloha and welcome @Olli !

The cost of servicing most housings is quite expensive now, and it does take quite a lot of work. Maybe look up the recommended service intervals for your brand @Olli ? Nauticam generally recommends 200 dives or two years, or longer for select housings. I’d be quite happy if my usual servicing company said to wait for 500!

That’s very cool. Still shooting in Cinelike D?

HSS on my Backscatter HF-1didn’t work with my UWT trigger. I was probably doing something wrong. I’ve since gotten rid of that HF-1, but I may revisit Backscatter’s strobes again in the future.

Aloha and welcome @Jens H !

@eikenhorst aloha and welcome. That fisheye topic is never ending. I’m sure you’ll work out how to go. Another thought: the m43 fisheyes are quite good. Great for travel, too.

Aloha and welcome @Paul Kay

Aloha and welcome @Smstelzel !
