Macro framer for C5K

I have just cobbled together a macro framer for my CP5000 in Ikelite housing with Inon UCL-165.

I was getting frustrated with slow or no autofocus under piers in dark green water, my usual dive sites, and didn't like stuffing around with focus lights or torch.

This works well.

Looks like a great idea Andy. I'm sure other users will find this information useful.

I particularly like your unusual shot of Calerpa sp.!

Been down to St Leonards lately?

Not for a few weeks Anthony. Can't wait to get back and try the framer now that I have adjusted the length.

Very nice idea and implementation.

I also liked the tips section in your site.

Why thankyou,

I have also made up a framer for use without the Inon macro lens giving coverage of 100mm at distance of 75mm from the lens port front.

Leave the Manual focus on 0.07 and zoom wide.

Perfect for night dives

Here's a sample with the first framer: Whitley's Scorpionfish buried in sand

And the wider framer: Forsters Weedfish on sponge
