Other than the price difference in these two lenses being about 25 bucks I have no idea how to choose one over another. From what I can see they are both wet macro lenses with the Epoque having 2X magnification and that is as far as my limited knowledge of lenses go. Found some info on the Inon but no specs on magnification. Anybody have / use either or both of these lenses? Preferences?

I want to know if they're a good fit for newly certified divers, one of which is 10 1/2 years old.

Don't need top of the line but crisp edges with a good FOV in an affordable range would be nice.

The store has started playing Christmas carols over the speakers. Nothing but carols. I was wandering the aisles for at about 40 mins and heard 3 different versions of the same 4 songs. My system can only take so much saccharine before I go into overload. I don't care who tried to put their own spin on the version, there are only 10 Christmas carols in existance and my tolerance for hearing them over and over and over for 2 months has already been reached. When my favourite radio station switches to carols 24/7, I will be loading up the CD player and getting some relief.

How do the people who work in stores stand it? I would be going postal after 1 morning.

Just to prove I am not a total Scrooge: I love Trans Siberian Orchestra's "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo" and enjoy most of their Christmas themed stuff. (Just not a steady diet of it over and over and over!) ]]> Complaints or Problems John Yaskowich http://forum.scubatoys.com/complaints-problems/28112-bah-humbug.html Red Sea http://forum.scubatoys.com/trips-travel/28111-red-sea.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:38:26 GMT Having a good time diving in the Red Sea.

The garage told her she could have the small set of doubles that was in their garage for many years if she wanted. Of course she took had them tested and left the valves off. She was hoping to replace the valves with new one right away. Well of course that didn't happen. Recently she said if I want them feel free to take them. So last night at the shop she dropped them so I could get them visually inspected.

The tanks of course were rusty and the owner said we could tumble them and see if they pass. So far so good...

He put a light in the first tank and let out a "holy ****" come here and look in. Sure enough a dead mouse.

On to the next tank with a light we found a huge nest of dead mice.

My question is if they are cleaned could they or would you use them?

I'm thinking I'm not that cheap that I can't afford new tanks, but they would make a great set of small doubles again. ]]> Tanks Mitchell http://forum.scubatoys.com/tanks/28110-mice-tanks.html <![CDATA[She's a Woman!]]> http://forum.scubatoys.com/man-laws-forum/28109-shes-woman.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:22:09 GMT YouTube - The WOMAN Song! lyrics ]]> Man Laws Forum scubastud http://forum.scubatoys.com/man-laws-forum/28109-shes-woman.html Digital Luggage Scale http://forum.scubatoys.com/new-product-rss/28108-digital-luggage-scale.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:30:30 GMT Learn More about the Digital Luggage Scale (http://www.scubatoys.com/store/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=DigitalLuggageScale) Image: http://www.scubatoys.com/store/Bags/pics/LuggageScale-sm.jpg The *Digital Luggage Scale* is a quick and simple way to avoid over weight bags and possible check in issues.
