In the US they are ruthless about water bottles. I've never had a carryon weight on a US flight and have never seen one rejected. No matter how much over sized. The only times I've seen people made to check a carryon is when it wouldn't fit.

how about in terms of # + size of carry-on? ie taking a medium-size laptop+lens bag along with a big backpack for housing.

i havent taken a US domestic flight in some time, and just thinking ahead for JFK-LAX flight i'll be taking for a trip later this year on AA (economy and booked as one-way separately).




For HKG: note the critical thing is the bag size right before you go through security/immigration. I used to carry a slightly "taller" backpack and got sent back to the counter (where it was weighed and I had to make noise) all the time before getting a smaller one. (no issues with CX, Air Pacific, MAS, SQ, Cebu Pacific even). I am hearing that Phillipine Air routinely checks carry on recently though.

Intra-asia Ive also had no issues in Singapore, KL, Male, Jakarta, Manila. MAS also quite generous for economy checkin so long as you say "diving equipment" (total 32kg))

thanks,

any suggestions as to how to carry these underwater? as i dont think they come in any special cases that can hook onto one's bc or etc.

Very specific question, but using this setup (10-17 + 1.4tc + small dome on cropped sensor), would you find it lacking in shooting big/medium stuff? ie sharks and the like?

I'll be doing a bunch of shark-feed dives later this month and contemplating just bringing small dome instead of larger one. I figure there will be no overunders or whatnot - so will the above setup suffice?

wet lens noob here
so the FITPro +5 67mm screws onto the front of normal macro port for the nauticam or any port with 67mm thread?
whereas FITPro +8 is 46mm and needs a 67->46 adapter, as here:

couldnt find anywhere else...

This is shot last week with the 16-35 at 16mm, f9, uncropped,no diopter, FE2 (same glass as FE3) with 70mm extension.
Not the greatest image but, but I don't have a problem with the edge sharpness particularly considering the viz was poor and the edges are not in the same plane of focus as the central area. No smearing noted.

Has anyone used 16-35 on DX underwater and would they recommend it? Deciding between 16-35/17-35/17-70 as a 3rd lens to take on diving trips along with the 10-17/105 combo. I do have FX as well but for above water only.
