pmooney 6 Posted June 9, 2004 orderered a SEA and SEA DX70 housing and asked that it be specs for the standard kit lens as supplied with the camera ( most beginning shooters will get them this way). ordered to compact dome port for perfect world. added a pair of ys90 autos and some ultralights. what are you thoughts for a first shooters rig ??? 28 deg sort of wide through to stacking macro rings /close up diopters at 105 end ( clayt6ons macro but fun ) :arrow: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
james 0 Posted June 9, 2004 Compact dome port may require you to mount a diopter on the kit lens to get focus. You should experiment with the setup and a +2 diopter Peter. I think this will be a great first shooters rig. I got to play with the setup this weekend. Ryan at Underwater Camera Pros loaned us the housing and Eric took it to the Galapagos. I snapped a few photos and tried it out w/ my fisheye dome and NX macro port. http://wetpixel.com/features/seaspace2004 (page 1 and 2) Cheers James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmooney 6 Posted June 16, 2004 James - i think your absolutely on the money. Probally a +2 diopter will make the standard rig sing. I got so excited that I did a test fit on the 18-70 in my TITAN , and found the 12-24 gears fitted and the whole setup went together real easy - just like a brought unit. The versatility seems to be the key. Going to get wet and give it a run. God love it - it's whale season in the tropics. 22 degrees Celsius toasty in the water and minkes everywhere !!!

james 0 Posted June 16, 2004 Hi Peter, You lucky dog! Eric and I saw a few Minkes when we were in Fiji but we never got to get in the water with any of them. They are the "racecar" of the balene whales, eh? Glad to hear you got the 18-70 working. I'm sure that folks here will be happy to hear that the 12-24DX gear works with the 18-70.
