Been inspired by all the avail. light + filter shots folks are getting. I've got the slightly nutty idea to slap an FL-D filter onto my Oly 8080 (inside an Ikelite housing) and seeing what I can get in green California waters. (obviously with the Ike housing, i'd have to be careful not to zoom the lens all the way and bump the front of the lens port. Have i missed any other important points though?)
Would love to hear if anyone else has tried something similar!
If not, I'll post when I've had a chance to try it myself too...
cheers!

Be careful, as you stated, not to slam the port with yout lens. Can you use a gel filter?
i have used both ur-rpo and fl_d with a oly 5050
if you stay shalow FL-D works great otherwisew UR-rpo is the way to go
But best is magic filter.....

guys, thanks for the feedback! (and i apologize for my delayed response).
the gel filter would be so much better since i wouldn't have to worry about bumping the port! i got the impression that magic filters work best for tropical blue shooting only. anyone tried one in green waters for the hell of it?
maybe what i need to look at is some cc30 magenta filter for fluorescent light?...guess i'll look around....
i'll post again when (or if) i've got some type of workable solution.
Have i missed any other important points though?)
