Hi Everyone, just want to let you know that Aquatica has finalized the detail of the acquisition of Amphico yesterday, in other words, the company will be back on track shortly. Here is the press release, for more info, you can contact info@aquatica.ca

oops, wrong post section, wanted it in the video section sorry, but hey! its good general info anyway!

Sorry I posted the Aquatica press release in the wrong post, but for what its worth, I would still go for the Canon in the Ikelite housing (even if you still have to beg, borrow or steal some lighting for this trip)

In Canada they only offer the health package, it's too bad that there is no equipment insurrance as available in the USA. c'mon DAN, make it happen!

Both have their value, the D90 is more of a commitment financially, the AN-5 does travel ever so lightly, as much as I like the Sony Nex generation, I am still a DSLR boy, I like the control access a lot more on them.

Duh!!! :confused:, its says 15mm Sigma on the Vimeo site (nice footage bTW), the focus gear is # 18715 and it is accessed via the left hand knob on the housing. manual focus takes some using too. with the Sigma, a lot of shooter will focus on their fins (sort of Hyperfocaling the lens) and then...

Rosh, what lens are you using, there are two ways to access the manual focus (depending of the lens used) on prime wide angle lens, you use the knob on the housing, for the Canon 16-35mm and 17-40mm there are special extension rings with a knob for focusing on their side, this meshes with a gear...

I swing my vote for the 5D Mk II, every TV show and documentary cameraman we supply uses the 5D Mk II and none that I know off would go for the 7D, nothing personal against the 7D, I happen to think it’s the best cropped sensor DSLR Canon ever made. But pro quality video is the 5D Mk II...

Chuck, the service department of Fred Dion still goes under Under Water Photo Tech banner. UW Photo - Underwater Camera Housing, Equipment, Photography they have kept the service division apart, this being said, for that matter Backscatter (east and West) are also authorized service...

Anybody that slam's you for being a novice has a short memory span, we where all novice at one point and all of us had our "questions" about the gears! the reference to the 70-300mm has more to do with being satisfied with the Tamron brand (rightly so BTW) than an actual recommendations of lens...

Its my "if they send you to a deserted island and you can only bring along one lens for u/w photography, then its this lens" lens.

We have adapter to accept Subal (type III) and Sea & Sea ports and I will second Bill's opinion about the kit lens, its a "sitting between two chairs" lens, either go wide or macro but the in between is exactly that... in between. I do like the 60mm from Canon with the APS sensor camera. and...

I differ on that point profoundly, Color correction filter are a very usefull tool and would recommend reading the following before claiming they went out the windows when RAW showed up, M A G I C - F I L T E R S If you remove red from the environment you are shooting in, then the camera...

Longer lens will give you longer working distance, but not bigger subject, but with a 105mm you can adapt a wet diopter sush as the Subsee or the Macromate and gain substantially in magnification, the advanage here is in the working distance, with a 60mm you would be so much on top of the...

I'll be there!

Of all the lens you listed, the 17-40mm is the only one useful underwater and indeed, it is kind of a bummer to loose the FOV on the crop sensor. The 5D Mk II is quite a performer and yes it will be replaced eventually, but that does not make it a lesser camera, it has become quite the...
