Warning BAD 3186 photos.

Had some extrat time on my hands this morning. Now I have to start the worrying process all over again about the water tightness of the Oyster. I made sure the O Ring was set in and looked good so I do not for see this being a problem but still I always worry when dealing with something this expensive.

Kinda boring on this side.










Now for the fun and exciting side










Ya I know the lighting sucked. I did not realize how bad it was till after the shots and the case back was all sealed up again. I may have to borrow a Macro and try again this weekend. I do not think it helped that I dropped this lens twice this weekend once on concrete from 4 feet up and the other banged against a door jamb and fell to a wood floor

Thanks for your time,

Danny

The pictures look good! Here is a tip I use for sealing for the caseback, I take a pen and draw a line that extends over the caseback onto the case. When I put the caseback back on, I just match up the two lines and I know that I have the caseback screwed on all the way.

Scott,

Thanks that is a great idea.

The only thing that really worries me, is that it took all my might to get it off the first time straight out of the box the day I took all the stickers off it. Today it came off pretty easy. I have taken it into the spa since the first time and no water so I guess I got it tight enough that time…

Thanks again.


Danny

Well I know you are not the biggest fan of the IIc and that is what this one is. I just posted my Favorite (to look at) the 1675 Mini 24 hr Pepsi over in the gallery take a look if you have time.
