Preview of the MFO-2 - Now called MFO-3
Yes, this is what they recommended. However, the whole point of me switching from the 60mm to the 90mm was so that I didn't need a diopter for super macro. Oh well, maybe once the new generation of OM cameras comes out I'll switch from Isotta to Nauticam just for the port with the selector switch!

Thanks. They have it listed on their website as compatible with the 90mm in "normal macro" mode. I don't have a Nauticam housing and my port won't let me change modes underwater, I mostly use it set to "S-Macro" mode. When I emailed Nauticam asking if it would work in S-Macro they said: "For MFO-3 to work well, the lens needs access to its entire focus range." So I may be out of luck!

Hi Chris, do you happen to have the Oly 90mm? I'm quite interested in that lens with the MFO-3 as well.

If any m43 users can post some pictures of this with the 90MM macro lens that would be wonderful. I'm pretty interested but don't want to spend $700+ dollars on an experiment.

How did he like it with the 90mm? It would be nice to get a bit wider field of view with that lens at times (can't imagine even with the MFO-3 it would be a good choice for blackwater though!).

Had I known these were coming out I also would have waited... 😅

Palawan Phillipines diving
I wear the same 2mm all year. I don't need it when the water is 28-30 degrees but wear it for protection from jellyfish and the sun. I run warm so I never need a 3mm or 5mm diving in the tropics.

I find the number of creatures to be similar but to be fair I'm always shooting macro in Anilao. I dive in a sharkskin all year (maybe 2mm equivalent), but I run warm.

new Retra strobe the Pro Max II
Just bought 2 new Pro Max strobes about 3 months ago. Doesn't feel great haha.

Palawan Phillipines diving
I agree Moalboal is just "okay" these days. It's gone downhill after the typhoon in 2019 destroyed several good dive spots. Coron is only interesting if you like wreck diving in my opinion. Malapascua has the sharks, but also great macro diving at Gato Island for example, which has good walls as well. Bohol would be another place to consider, balicasag and pamilacan island are quite nice for reef diving and are day trips.

Feb is great for visibility but has the coldest water temps in Anilao of the year. It gets down to around 23-24 Celsius, up to you t determine if that is too cold or not ^_^

There are several good sites in Anilao for reef diving. You'll just have to ask to visit those particular dive sites if that's what you're looking for.

Changing viewfinder
I also have an Isotta with the 45 degree Inon viewfinder. I honestly don't use any tool at all, I just screw it hand tight. Never had an issue.

MFO-1 and focus limiter
I'm also interested in this, including the newer Olympus 90mm. I care less about the working distance change and more about the image quality increase I've heard people talk about.

Popularity of underwater video vs photo?
I take stills and my partner shoots video. While sometimes i actually like her video better than my photos, the main thing for me is the editing process. I spend maybe 30 seconds-3 mins on a photo in lightroom. She spends at minimum 20-30 minutes in premiere trimming videos, arranging clips, adding music, etc. It's a real chore compared to photo editing in my opinion and as a result she has terabytes of unedited video on hard drives. Sure you can just post your unedited clips but those are the videos no one wants to watch!
