Wow...I wasn't getting updates on this thread.
I'll accept cash if you wanna come to SA...otherwise paypal and shipping.
I think the U-F is the flashless version...the U-FX has some extra height for the flash....not sure I would try to use a folding flash with it though.
Manual focus? I have no idea why they say this. It comes with some ring adapters so you can manipulate the focus ring while it's inside the bag. I used it on autofocus and used the rings to manipulate the zoom on an 18-55mm lens.
I never used it underwater. I used to stand in the surf and take pix of the boats launching off the beach. I'll attach a pic that I took with it when I start up the other computer. Sorry...just been busy the last couple of days.
The whole thing isn't very heavy...but with the carrying bag it makes it bigger than you would expect for shipping. I could probably fit it in one of those USPS shoebox sizes priority boxes and ship to Austin for about $10.
My paypal is
