I have not used ther Omer cayman HF although i do own a omer cayman carbon in my opinion the cayman carbon is a good gun i have the 75cm model and use it in about 5m vis at best and i would say it is nicely accurate up to 5m and due to its carbon barrel it is very good at tracking fish.Something i would say against the carbon is it has a rather cheap feel to the trigger mech i have had my carbon for just over a year and wash it thoroughly after every dive and although no rust has appeared upon the spear and as far as i know the mechanism itself, the spear can still move side to side and jerk about in the mechanism i personally would never put a second band on my gun but nothing too scary has happened yet.Overall the carbon is full of positives and a few negatives aswell it is an excellent gun and can take down nearly any fish you hit with it.From what i have read about the omer cayman HF i would certainly recommend it as it is supposedly a much cheaper version of the carbon without losing any performance i personally wish i had bought a HF myself as it is used by alot more of the spearfishing community and therfore if you need any info about it in case anything does go wrong with it you will most probably have a wide range of advise on the problem you are having with it.Overall if its only between the two guns i would recommend the HF.
