Dome Theory and Sealux CD70 Review
Just posted (but long in the Wetpixel forums) are Julian Scheunemann's article on dome theory and diopter optics, and Colin Gans' review of the Sealux CD70 Underwater Housing for the Nikon D70 dSLR.
Also, the May/June photo contest results are *almost* available. I apologize for the long delay! We're now awaiting comments from our illustrious judges, after which I'll announce the winners.
I think that's enough news for the day.
