AA Battery : wich are the best for strobe
Really? I had always believed that higher mAh, and therefore higher capacity, meant longer battery duration. I need that powerpoint π

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

Using focus ring in macro
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.

Using focus ring in macro
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. Thatβs why I was asking if people are using it.

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

Question on dual flip lens holders
Hi, I have used with S&S DX Macro Port 87 and both Nikkor macro 85mm and 105mm on Nikon D300 and D500. I haven't noticed any vignetting at all. There is indeed a little gap from the flip itself.

Question on dual flip lens holders
Hi, The Saga flip has two pieces, the flip itself and another that is the one that screws onto the port. In the single one you simply move the flip and screw at the desired angle. I donβt have the double flip, but for what I see in the image from Saga is like fixed position 10-2, but like SwiftFF5 have pointed out you can move that 10-2 at the position you like. But Iβm not sure you can have it at 9-3. Hope that helps. I am adding some photos for clarification.

What Images Do You Keep???
If I were to delete the worst photos of a dive, I would only be left with a couple or none at all. π€£ Unlike the others have said, I only delete the clearly bad images, and for me clearly bad is totally out of focus, accidental triggers, etc. I like to have all the images with the specie tags on them, maybe an image is very bad but is the only photo of a specie that I have. Talking in consideration that the storage is quite cheap, I have a 12TB for the images (land and underwater), every dive or trip is a folder numbered by date.

Question on dual flip lens holders
I only have a single flip from Saga Dive, it does not increase vignetting in my rig, or at least I havenβt seen any difference at all. The single flip it is screwed on the port then you can choose the exact angle that you need to be mounted. The double flip from Saga, if Iβm not wrong, you cannot choose the angle, is like fixed 10-2 setup. Sorry, I cannot help with the others brands.

For sale two units S&S D2 strobes
Iβm selling 2 S&S strobes in perfect working condition. 1x YS-D2 unit 1x YS-D2J unit (Made in Japan) Both units are fully functional with no issues. I'm selling them because I want to upgrade to two D3. Theyβve never been flooded and have never caused me any problems. As you can see in the photos, the battery caps are clean, with no rust or corrosion. Theyβve been very well cared for. They can be triggered either by a 5-pin sync cable or by fiber optic cableβIβve used both methods without any issues. Iβm including 100ΒΊ and 120ΒΊ diffusers for both strobes and the boxes. Location: Near Barcelona, Spain. Iβm selling both together for β¬590, shipping included within Spain. For other countries, shipping costs are at the buyerβs expense. For international buyers: I will cover the shipping cost equivalent to domestic shipping within Spain; the buyer will pay the difference.

Thoughts on Nikon FF?
Just to make it clear. I bought a Isotta Housing brand new. Isotta still makes housing for D500. I search for a while the second hand market with no luck

Thoughts on Nikon FF?
I was in a similar situation like you are. I was using a D300 in a S&S Housing. And just switched to a D500 and Isotta housing one month ago. For me not having to buy new lenses and ports and being able to use the Tokina 10-17 was a plus.
