craig 0 Posted November 19, 2003 Thanks, James. Unrelated but a hawkfish just the same. My longnose (this one is uncropped): Did I mention I loved the 70-180? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cybergoldfish 1 Posted November 19, 2003 1st dive at Batu Mandhi! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yahsemtough 0 Posted November 19, 2003 Bob I don't understand those Americans. They don't use "U" in plenty of coloUrful words but add a "w" in front of rocking skipping the "g"? As you are the grammar police can you advise as to the origins of this change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cybergoldfish 1 Posted November 19, 2003 Did I mention I loved the 70-180? Yes, we were getting worried on the boat when you slipped it into a little leather pouch every night Suppose we'll all have to get one for the next trip If my heart can stand it of course... Almost as good as a Cyanide dispensor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craig 0 Posted November 19, 2003 Suppose we'll all have to get one for the next trip If my heart can stand it of course... I bought the entire remaining supply. My strategy hasn't produced much revenue yet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cybergoldfish 1 Posted November 19, 2003 OK, I'll see if I can get a 'Hubble' off eBay! Todd, language... It's Caltex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
james 0 Posted November 19, 2003 Here's the link for 70-180's on Ebay: http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?q...55&BasicSearch= The current one didn't sell last time because the guy had a reserve >$599 Look to pay between $450 and $600 for this lens - which is no longer made by Nikon. Some lucky bloke got one last week for $425! Cheers James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cybergoldfish 1 Posted November 19, 2003 Thanks Sweetheart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yahsemtough 0 Posted November 19, 2003 Damn and I was just checking to see what one of those, and a 12-24 would cost in Canada. At least I know Craig has a warehouse full for the low low price of $1MILLION DOLLARS! Without the leather pouch that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PauP 0 Posted November 19, 2003 Beautiful Hawks Craig, stunning. I notice the unusual catch-lights on Bob's 2nd shot, the Scorpion fish. Gives the Inon guns away! PauP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yahsemtough 0 Posted November 19, 2003 Aha! He's been had! I'll have to watch when I trade up to them. I sure hope I can get them in pink. Now that would make for a "artist of the month " shot. I don't go anywhere without my pink Inon's after trying them out once. They also make for a pleasing background to your friends shots. (insert personal testimonial from Craig here)LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yahsemtough 0 Posted November 19, 2003 Finally feeling better. I have, and the whole house, has had a cold etc this week. I still can't talk very well as I have lost my voice about 60-70%. Some might say that is a good thing! Can't yell at the people at work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cybergoldfish 1 Posted November 22, 2003 Last one - Male Sea Moth on Nudi Retreat. Boy, these are low down eh Craig! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craig 0 Posted November 22, 2003 Absolutely subterranean. Did you get that alone? 60mm AF? No way I could get that with MF. To quote Paul, you are coming along nicely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cybergoldfish 1 Posted November 22, 2003 105 AF Only used manual really for the whip squatties and pygmies. My only wish is I had DOFP facility on the housing... "Blake?" You were there abouts, but I was alone otherwise - Spent 20 minutes with a pair of em, then the male turned the right way to growl at me! BTW: Twin INON Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery-when-wet 0 Posted November 26, 2003 These are very beautiful images, and the expressions and textures are just lovely. "What are Squatties?" Pictures??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cybergoldfish 1 Posted November 26, 2003 This is to what we refer as a 'Squatty'. Xeno Crab/Coral crab maybe an inch long. "Xenocarcinus tuberculatum" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
