Still frustrating these didn’t materialize.
Would have bought the 18-50 and one of the others instantly.

Ah well …

Well, since I have the LX100II and the Meikon housing, I am already covered there. But a tough LX100II would be my ticket, since housings are somewhat cumbersome. Considering I shot with a ...

Exactly, that with the easier handling would be of course the main benefit. Cheers

Roatan sure looks inviting, and its not too small to do something out of the water. Well, Guadeloupe would be easier to access since I am based in Switzerland. And it's mix of carbonate and ...

The advantage of revisiting the same locations over several years is you can memorise the best spots and go back there more efficiently. Another thing to keep in mind is how the prevailing winds ...

Thanks for the suggestion. Yep, the required weight I tried to evaluate with a neutral light backpack and some stones. It worked very well, only problem was that I did not bring a scale to get the ...

A 20-100/4 for me please.

Boy I am envious. Problem is these locations are not an option for me at the moment, considering time and money.  Anyway, due to health issues I am only allowed to do snorkeling at the moment. But ...

Dear Yannis thanks for your kind words. I only do snorkeling, but i manage to take a shot down to about 7 m depth after a bit of training. The biggest problem is the buoyancy of the wetsuit, which ...

The NX500 still compares very well in APSC land. I just wish there was a 20-60 / 2.8 lens or at least an update to the good but slow 12-24. Remake that as 12-24/2.8 with OIS , wishes wishes … and ...

Finally! The Panasonic 20-60 was already intriguing, but a bit too slow. A7C and 20-40, here I come, relegating the ageing NX500 to other duties. Hopefully soon ...

Tube worms, still to be determined. (TG-5) I have no clue what those white hairy balls are ... Zostera meadow, near Limeni. (LX100II) Cystoseira algae, always growing in agitated waters. (TG-5) Cys ...

Possibly Tripterygion tartessicum female and male, near Avlemonas. (TG-5) Sphinx blenny (Aidablennius sphynx) , near Avlemonas. (TG-5) Thicklip grey mullet (Chelon labrosus), most likely. TG-5 Juve ...

Thanks for your kind comment. As I stated in the parent post, I do this mainly for documentary reasons. That does not mean that there are not quite a few shots I personally like aesthetically (I ...

A goby hing with a sea cucumber near Limeni, Laconia. (TG-5) A curious blenny near Avlemonas, Kythira Island. (TG-5) A goby near Avlemonas, Kythira Island. (TG-5) Hiding lizardfish near Lefki ...

Not terribly good IQ, but funny: a stingray (Dasyatis) getting mobbed by nine specimens of Bothus podas (males and females I think). (TG-5) Apogon imberbis preyed upon by parasitic isopod Anilocra ...

Shrimp Palaemon elegans near Limeni. (TG-5) Tube worm Serpula vermicularis. Crab near Palaeopoli beach, Kythira Island. (TG-5) Holothuria tubulosa near Lefki beach, Elafonisos Island. (LX100 II) As ...

Invertebrates ... sorry did not yet get all the IDs. Dardanus calidus hermit crab. Was so focused on the guy I only saw the moray (Muraena helena) while going through the images later. (TG-5) Darda ...

Now, let's dive in ... Now, mind you, you can have a lot of fun while doing this with the family. (LX100 II) Just to show off how clear the water was in Limeni, visibility was more than 20 m that ...

Mind you, the following were shot while snorkelling in the Mediterranean, so no beautifully coloured reef shots. For myself I use those shots mainly for documentary reasons (partly for small ...
