Hello Everyone Just an update. UK-Germany promised a pool test awhile back. Since then until now, I have had no customer support, emails, returmed phone call etc. I begged one of there resellers to have Uwe (Owner)contact me to atleast let me know the results. Still no email or phone call. Anyway, here is a slideshow link of my last dive. I still enjoy my set up though. Simply copy & paste. Regards D:\Underwater Slideshows\Under the Sea.html

Hello everyone, Just an update on corner blur improvements. Test pool completed and as i understand it some tests are being done to design a bigger port for improved corner sharpness by Uwe at UK-Germany. It has been 8 months since I purchased the housing for my camera. I can say I am still happy with the purchase but still waiting for some improvements for w/a shots. I will post samples hopefully during this summer from a new port. I hope and pray. Troy

Hello Chris, The H3D-39 mf camera u/w is an amazing tool. I just recently sent it in to Denmark for maintenance and received a free focus calibration that is just simply incredible. The raw image w/o a single drop of sharpening is pin sharp and has improved my u/w shots. However, there are 2 remaining steps to get to the next level: 1). The new Phocus software for pc users will come out in June to allow 800iso shooting (400iso now) 2). All 4 corners do show blurring varying with subject distance from port. A new port is supposedly being worked on. Heat from the db is not an issue, the images are clean as a whistle. Keeping the housing from direct sunlight whilst in the boat between dives is advisable so it doesn't sweat inside with condensation inside when going to cool deep depths. I am presently compositing images for wall murals to sell and eventually fire burn ceramic tiles. troy

Hello Buddy, The H1 Digital 22mp was paid for by one job when it was loaned to me by my supplier, long before what I have now with my housing. hope this clears it up. Also your right, I will post some photos of my set up as soon as I get back from assignment here in Long Island. Troy

Uwe is buliding a small testing pool. So lets see what he comes up with. Any improvemnet in corner sharpness will be greately appreciated. troy

Thanks guys, According to Uwe, the size of the dome isn,t the problem. Rather it's the distance from glass to port. Since my 22mm equivilant w/a lens is not super wide maybe this is true, but the lens is huge. I don't know if this plays a factor in corner blur. I will contact Ryan at Reef. Thanks for the lead. Troy

Just got off the phone with Uwe at Uk-Germany and was told that they are building an acrylic 1meter cube pool to physically test for port corrections to correct the corner to corner issues. His estimate is around 6 weeks to have good results. This is good news for me and I will post more on the results with photos. Thanks troy

Good morning Loftus, It has been awhile as I have been very busy. Thanks for the comments. I agree, in fact the dome port that was given to me by UK-Germany is an 8" dome port. The 28mm is huge. I don't understand why they did this. As I understand it now, there is a Super Dome port (9.5 or 10in) offered by Subal or Seacam. With some modifications would this not have been a better option? The corner to corner sharpness is perfect out of water and the software (Flexcolor) corrects any other related issues. Is there any info someone can send my way to get a better dome. By the way, I have the 1dsmk3 and I am very happy with it. Not ready to take it u/w though. Thanks, troy

Hey Loftus, A little sharprning was used. The crop resulted in aprox 7x10 @ 300dpi. Again, I don't think my set up is for super macro but, the results are good enough I think. I will play around with settings to determine the sharpest results next weekend. I think it can get better. Troy
