Hard to imagine that sort of quality from such a small camera. I haven’t used mine underwater yet, but I am excited to try after seeing your vid. You have some really nice photos and footage in there!

Great sharing, thanks! I’m not one for words but would like to share my highlights from the trip to Malapascua in October. My RX100 got the Nauticam housing.

Pas pb! Had a great time. I sometimes forget how wonderful all the little creatures are. Thanks for reminding me. Next time you are in Nice, we will do it again.

That’s true : I enjoyed every tiny bit of it!
And swimming around the Rhizostome was an exiting moment… and at the same time a very zen one, the Rhizostome moving so slowly and fluidly.

Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to dive with you and for the time you spent showing and explaining things to me.

I believe this is what you are looking for:

http://www.fantasea.com/s.nl/it.A/id.466/.f?sc=2&category=490

I would order it direct from Fantasea – but I don’t recommend it.

You are absolutely right, the Fantasea F67 adapter is ENORMOUS. It looks like they essentially modified the mount for the Big Eye, and made it work for for attaching M67 lenses. The good news is that if you pick up the adapter plate I linked to above, it should also work for the Big Eye if you ever get one. I have an article on that here: http://www.azur-diving.com/2010/08/19/fantasea-bigeye-lens-g-series-for-canon-g7-g9-g10-g11-s90-review/

However, if I were you, I would send that adapter back, and order the below version from Japan. It is a FIX brand (which you can only find in Japan), and is SUPER low profile. I have had mine for about two years, and I love it. It works perfectly with M67 filters and I have never had a problem. I even kept it after I sold my casing and modified it for use with another setup. Here is the link:

It will take a while to get to you from overseas, but it is worth the extra time and effort to get the right piece. I have ordered several times from these folks, and they have good service. I guarantee you will be far happier with this one. You can even use your flash diffuser with it with a few modifications. See this picture: http://www.azur-diving.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_3360-Copy.jpg. With mine, I just drilled two small holes at the base of the diffuser (it is very strong plastic), and then attached a bit of elastic to the holes. It holds when placed on the lenses very well, and when not using the lenses, I can still mount it on my camera. Plus, when I resold my case, the holes were so discrete that it didn’t hurt the resale value.

Hi! I have the Canon WP DC21 case for my G9. I got the macro wet lens,and it came with a very large, round, Fantasea adaptor 67mm threaded. B & H was supposed to include a 67mm Ad On Plate to attach to the actual lens. They didn’t. My question:
1. First, the Fantasea adaptor is BIG and ungainly. Does Inon make a smaller one?
2. WHERE can I buy the Inon wet lens and adaptor required for my Canon WP DC21 case? Help!!!!!!
Thanks
PS> by the way… your information is amazing! Thanks.

Comment on Oh Beautiful Corsica! Recollections From Miomo 5-11. by Carlita Walat - calvi france

Driving across the Islet from Bastia to Calvi lurked out the right holiday mood. The buttery fragrance of lavender sneaked in owing to the undecided windows and welcomed us to this beautiful islet. For three weeks we stayed in a small tent in on foot distance from the beach. Thanks to CecilyH. We lived essentially on flutes &raw vegetables, waste the days and sunbathing and dancing the nights away in Calvi.

HOW AWESOME that you found out about and got to see the statue Bill. Do you know how it ended up underwater or any more about its history?
