Sea&Sea MDX MrkIII Housing with standard port. One use $3500.00 Zeb 206/919-6969

Count Zebulen Pike and Kevin Mount for the Seattle trip.

Wondering what insurance companies people are using for flood insurance. Any bad stories or good stories. Thanks, Zeb

Used once Sea&Sea Mdx MrkIII housing $3500.

What are most divers doing for securing there housing. No straps, 1 strap, or two straps? Advantages and disadvantages? All advice appreciated. Thanks, Zeb

Steve, I checked out your pictures. They are really amazing. Seems like all macro stuff? I Just picked up a 17- 40mm and a zoom gear. Do you think that is to much to start with or should I stick with the 20mm for the first couple dives? Thanks Zeb Steve, I checked out your pictures. They are really amazing.

If anyone knows Christian from Tusa give him a bad time for throwing me under a bus. Just kidding, he actually helped me a lot. However, I do have two strobes I can't use because the TTL converter is not available. And a shutter activated focus light that I can't use because I have to wait for a special part to come in, then I have to send the housing to subquatic and pay $250.00 to have it installed. Okay, maybe give him a little razzing. My Evolution trainer told me I won't need a focus light in Hawaii or the Caribbean. Hopefully, this is true. Guess I'll no sooner than later. Is there a way around the missing TTL converter? Thanks, Zeb

Tusa recommended a large dome port and standard flat port for the MDX. These are what I purchased. However, the 100mm Macro will not fit with either. I ordered the NX Zoom port but it is unlikely that I will have it in time. No one has mentioned the 20mm WA. Any particular reason why. And what about the 50mm 1.2. I think I might be a little on the wobbly side for Macro work.

No,just for fun.

Tusa recommended the lens to me. However when I zoom out there is a black frame with curved sides. Is that the problem with using that lens on a full frame camera? The camera is a 1Ds MkIII. I am new to photography above or beneath water.

Thanks appreciate the info..

Probably both macro and wide. Not to knowledgeable on the critters yet. I have that lens Canon 100mm Macro. Would I use the Fish-eye for seascapes? I have that lens Canon 100mm Macro. Would I use the Fish-eye for seascapes?

Hello Anyone, I am headed for my first dslr dive in Honolulu next week. I am shooting Canon full frame and looking for suggestions on a starting lens choice for a max 40ft dive. This is the beginning of my learning curve. Just doing some practicing. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have purchased a 100mm 2.8, 20mm 2.8 wide, 15mm Fish-eye, 50mm 1.2, and a Tokina 10-17mm fish-eye. My zoom gear for the tokina is back-ordered. So I cannot yet zoom that lens.
