Big buzz on the island at the moment.

Given the price, I'd get both as they're only $99 on Amazon.com. The Glass dome is what you use with the conversion lenses. The Acrylic port is for the 18-55 kit lens. That is no slouch either. No ETA as of yet on the Aquatica NEX-7 Housing, I'd expect CAD renderings "soon" Stewart Hi Terri

Sy Fri, 06 Jan 2012 20:12:18 +0000 http://www.atlasomega.com/?p=2620#comment-5896 Hi Paulo Aquatica is currently working on the NEX-7 housing as well. If you notice, the Nauticam ones are simply CAD renderings not a real housing you can hold yet. As you know, the NEX-7 bodies are just getting to those who've pre-ordered last year. I did call Aquatica because of your question and their CAD drawings are ready and renderings will be out in a couple of weeks. If you'd like, drop me a line @ stewart@stewartsy.com and once they send me the renderings, I'll email them to you. One thing to take note, Aquatica is the only manufacturer who perfectly translated the function of the NEX-5 controls to the housing, being able to use the rear dial as not only a dial but as a multi-function joystick is a huge difference in the functionality of the housing.

I'm looking into a box for the new Sony NEX-7, and have noticed your competitors from Nauticam are getting one ready, but I don't want to jump into one without checking your option first. Will there be one available? Any price idea? If so, when could one expect it? Thanks for your attention, Best regards, l Paulo Calado, Portugal p Hello..

]]> Comment on Photographing the Bald Eagles of the Skagit River by Tony http://www.atlasomega.com/2011/01/photographing-the-bald-eagles-of-the-skagit-river/#comment-5830 Tony Thu, 05 Jan 2012 04:12:42 +0000 http://www.atlasomega.com/?p=799#comment-5830 Carol, The number of eagles flucates year-to-year depending on the salmon run and a few other factors, but in general mid-January is usually the peak time. It looks like right now the count this year is lower than last years with about 230 eagles along the section of the river I describe (down from 375 last year at the same time). My advice would be to go in the next two weeks if possible. I haven't been up to the river yet this year myselft, and that's what I'll be doing. Carol,

Sorry I didn't reply sooner but I spent most of December in Australia. How did your trip down the river go? Post a link to your shots, I'd love to check them out.
