Hello!
Hi, thanks for the heads up from Cussy and Triplefin over on YD to register over here for some helpful tips
 I'm using a canon 400D in a Hugyfot housing. Currently with one YS90 Duo strobe but hoping to upgrade to the Inon Z240 (or an Ike DS125 - I just can't decide!!  ) I've had some problems with my Strobe arms not fitting but just recieved some Ultralite ones yesterday so looking forward to using them!I use a 100mm macro lens (which I'm struggling with!) and a 10-22mm (which I've managed to get some jammy shots with!) All help gratefully recieved  |

Hi Tazzie,
You should get a lot of good advice here, there is only so much you can learn from the YD "Oh that's so lovely" replies.... Are you using both lenses behind a flat port or do you have a dome port? The DS-125 is a good strobe and they regularly turn up on eBay. I bought one from someone on here and one from eBay. Rob

Cussy - I have a dome port for the wide angle yes, it's not a fish eye though which I've been told is what I need? Still not quite sure why though and until I start getting frustrated with my wide angle shots I'll probably stick with it.
ANy ideas what the problem with a standard dome would be? |

Hi Tazzie and welcome to Digigreen.
In an ideal world you would have a seperate dome port for each of the wide angle lenses that you use for optimum image quality. In the real world the cost of doing this would prohibitive. I currently have one dome port which I can use for the 3 seperate lenses that I have (18-79, 12-24 and 10.5 FE) - the only difference is that I put an extension behind the port when using the first two lenses because of their size. It's not perfect but it works for me. Cheers, Tim
