Hi bghazzal, makes complete sense! Thank you very much for the input. Initially had in mine do mainly wide angle in Komodo, but seeing some macro picture and taking in consideration that I am going from resort, that means three dives but without real possibility to change setup on the boat, the paranoia of two rigs started. 😅 Thanks again for the help, much appreciate it. Cheers.

Hi there, I would like to ask for advice. Context: we are going to Komodo and Bali next October. My current setup is Nikon D500 with Isotta housing, but I have still the old rig (D300+S&S). My two main lenses are Nikon 105 or 85 mm for macro and Tokina 10-17 Fisheye (sometimes + kenko) for wide. The thing is that I’m starting to think that maybe I could dive with both rigs, for having macro and wide. Does anyone has dived with 2 complete rigs; am I totally nuts? Or better forget the idea and mount macro or wide and live with it? 😅

Very good images! Can you share the equipment used?

"Most bang" I suppose means good right? 😅

Wow, I have discovered that I already have it at home, the Spanish edition from year 2000, translation of the third German edition. 😅😅

I had looked it up just out of curiosity. I never would have bought it for the price listed in the link I posted. 😂 But thank you for the links you provide. Although, my German is zero 😅

I was searching for this book and found a copy on amazon for 605€...😆 amazon link

I had always used the black ones, Pro, and never had a fail.

Really? I had always believed that higher mAh, and therefore higher capacity, meant longer battery duration. I need that powerpoint 😅

I think that the whites one are only up to 2000 mAh, while the pro are up to 2500.

Yes, I was thinking of using manual focus while on AF. Using Nikon 105 or 85mm you can use manual focus in AF. And in top of that I use the thumb focus button.

Sometimes when I am at minimum focus distance maybe it would be useful to have a focus gear, not for using only focus gear and not AF obviously but for an extra help. Or for example to focus at the minimum distance manually and work from there, without having to AF at some element. I know that you can always move a little bit. I have never used a focus gear but I suppose that if the focus gear exists in the market it would be for some use. That’s why I was asking if people are using it.

Was wondering if you guys are using focus ring when shooting macro, let’s say for example with 105mm or 85mm. Until now was not using but I was thinking in buying one.🤔 Thanks

I started using Eneloop Pro and haven’t look back. I had also 4 of the Powerex that in my case didn’t last much.
