Housing Manufacturer Longevity
Don in Colorado replied to climbrox's topic in Photography Gear and Technique
People that can afford Subal or Seatool are probably not affected by the economy. I suspect both manufacturers will be around for a long time. -
A 60mm lens with large creatures is just going be frustrating. I've tried it, and you have to shoot from too far away form the subject to get a sharp picture. And a macro of a whale shark's eye seems lacking to me. If I was diving with a whale shark, and a 60 mm lens, I'd leave the camera on the boat and just enjoy the free dive.

Need help attaching my Ikelite 8" dome port
Don in Colorado replied to AllisonFinch's topic in Photography Gear and Technique
I have played with a dome on an Ikelite only a couple of times. With the dome off of the housing, I moved one of the latches closed (the upper one I believe) and then angled the dome under the closed latch. Then I pushed the dome down on the side of the other latch, and was able to get the other latch closed. It was really was easy using this method. Good luck. Hope this helps. -
Optical earthquake is superior to digital earthquake, by at least 1.5 aftershocks ! And yes, the LX3 looks like an interesting camera. Looking forward to playing with one. Photokina is about 2 months away I think. Lot's of new cameras should be coming out soon.

BrantD. Five gold stars. I purchased an Olympus Tetra housing and accessories from him, and I was very satisfied.

The world is a big place. No need for me to go to Bali. The culture of paying everybody wearing a uniform a little extortion fee would drive me crazy. They should sell standardized extortion tickets. I'll spend my hard earned money elsewhere.

Underwater Photo Technique Book
Don in Colorado replied to jeremyl's topic in Shooting Technique, Workflow and Editing
Throw away Lightroom and Photoshop, and the associated books. Download the free Picassa program from google, and press the button that says "I feel lucky" You'll save youself hours of grief, and get back to having a life away from the computer. Unless you want to publish, you might be amazed by Picassa. I am tired of fighting Lightroom and Photoshop. OK, you can sling your bows and arrows at me now -

Are your XD cards the "high Speed" variety. Not the "M" version?
-
512 megs is the largest XD card it will accept I believe. I have a 1 gig XD card and it doesn't work in it. Better to use a 2 gig compactflash card in it which it will accept. XD cards are not too impressive speed wise.

I will also pay extra to avoid MIA.

No hurry. My next dive trip is September. -
