I'm on the way back from diving with Kai Viti Divers in Fiji. Thanks to Eric and James for first posting their photos in 2004. Otherwise I might not have heard of them. They run a good operation.
About the Magic Filter. I'm really impressed. I hope to put up a user review soon.
My setup consisted of an Olympus SP-310, PT-030, Sea & Sea 16mm lens (using 46-58mm step up ring). It was quite easy to use ISO 100, aperture priority (f4.5 or f5, then using exposure compensation). I shot everything in RAW, and have done little editing yet.
The magic filters can really do wonders in ambient light, is this the new "auto-magic"?

Hi Luiz,
It's the original filter. Even though I shot RAW, I haven't had to do much adjustment with WB. I probably wouldn't use the auto filter since it takes out 1 more stop of light. I used mostly ISO 100, but did use ISO 200 at some times. If I needed to use 400 with the digicam, things would be noisy.
FYI I ran into Victor (VAZ- not sure of his exact Wetpixel name). He uses a D2X in an Aquatica housing. What a beautiful beast. When my Sea & Sea strobe cord went, he lent me one of his new Inons.
