I'm using a UFL-1 with a G10 and I really like my newfound source of light (guys with two 1400$ strobes are wincing right now )
I am thinking about getting another ufl-1 and wondering what more knowledgeable people think.
I do photography mostly in low vis areas (north atlantic and fresh water) and do mostly close up shots. I don't have a WA wet lens.
As for passing to DSLR.. the DSLRs will have to impress me quite a bit before I choose to pay the extra 5000$ for what amounts mostly to shutter speed... I do like the canon 7d but I guess I'm waiting for something that's not in production yet I do own a DSLR but it's even more noisy than my g10 (Olympus e520)
Hello all,
I'm using a UFL-1 with a G10 and I really like my newfound source of light (guys with two 1400$ strobes are wincing right now )

If one is working for you then another will balance the light better. The only question is whether you want to take it to a DSLR later and maybe do some WA stuff. If yes then get yourself a main flash and use your UFL1 as a slave. I would suggest an Inon Z240, or a D or S 2000 although they are not as powerful. More power the better in my book.
I will surely get a Z240 in the near future.
For now I ordered a second UFL-1 at 180$. This will help me balance my shots.
Hopefully by the time I really start to "get" underwater photography, the camera I want is going to be available. Right now I'm not willing to commit 3000$ to house a camera that is slightly better than my little g10. I do like the 7d though. Really not sure I would prefer a full frame.
