Sea&Sea DX-750G and YS15 - any good?
since I lost my old and much loved Motormarine II in Loch Long last week - I thought I would use the insurance money (when I get it) to buy a digital... as the Sea&Sea Motormarine has done me well...what is the word on the digital??

PS - if anyone finds a Motormarine II floating about Loch Long or the Clyde... it's MINE

I can't comment on the camera, but I considered the YS-15 strobe. I was told by one of the shops that it really isn't up to the job in the UK (not enough angle of beam, not powerful enough, not enough control). So I went with the YS25.

I bought a 750 earlier this year although I have only used it a couple of times I am finding it quite easy to use, I did buy a package with the YS15 but upgraded to the YS25 which is what I was recommended. I took a couple of pictures this weekend using the strobe.





I did use photoshops colour correction though, but without the strobe I was getting a shaddow on each picture because of the wide angled lens. I bought mine from Alan James Photography who gave me a nice set up guide with the camera.

It is worthless without an external strobe, because the front of the housing casts a shadow that covers about a quarter of the foto when you use the on board flash.

Yup - I think the 750 and the 25 strobe is the best bet

and I have a YS50TTL, 20mm, 16mm and Macro lense for Motormarine II to put on Ebay as well
