Any recommendations for an underwater housing? Posted: 9 Apr 2009 at 16:55 GMT
Was looking into some underwater panos (at water level or just under..snorkeling not deep). Any recommendations for a housing to support a 40D w/8mm fisheye, or a 5DM2 with 15mm fisheye? Kirk

www.uk-germany.com/ reasonable pricing and very good support. I own a housing for a Canon 1ds MkII for a 15 mm fisheye and have made HDR-underwaterpanos with it. Works perfectly

Spyboy, You might want to put a "Wanted" add in these forum's classifieds.. Who knows, you might get lucky. They are very pricey! Also not sure what would fit around an 8mm without getting in the picture. wetpixel.com/forums/ www.digitaldiver.net/wantads.php www.underwaterphotography.com/

Seems like a very pro (and expensive) solution, I have no experience with it, but maybe you can use the info: aquatica.ca/ Have a nice day, Wim.

It may be a bit of overkill for what you are after Spyboy, but I have an Ikelite housing...I cannot recommend them highly enough...rated to 60 metres and the clear housing lets you see the controls. Have you considered an EWA Marine housing. I havent used them or had a look at them up close, but it may do the job. Cheers Brett.
