Hi Lauren, I have done both Bonaire and Littles Cayman, both definitely have their own personnality and own dynamic, this year it is in Bonaire, what I especially like about this place is the unlimited diving and easy shore access, just strap on a tank and walk into the water. For testing gear...

For starter, you will need a dome port, of at least 8" if you can, a very wide lens (between 100 to 180 degree of field of view) I typically move the focus target in my viewfinder to the bottom part, you want to focus on the submerged virtual image of the dome port and then get your background...

The extension is not used with the Nikon 10.5mm fisheye, but the Tokina is a physically longer lens and the extension is meant to reposition the lens properly inside the dome, in the case of the 8" (and 9.25" Megadome) dome port it is not obligatory to have it, but the corners of the image are a...

Great stuff Martin! really glad to have you on our team. :D

When you screw a port down, it applies pressure on the O-ring, if this is not perfectly lubed, there is the risk that the O-ring will stretch i some area due to friction, resulting in an uneven seal, a bayonet does not perform the same, its a side seal and ambiant pressure is what presses the...

The D7000 does have an internal AF motor, so that gives it access to all type of autofocus lenses out there and to booth it even has a meter coupling for the older non AF lens (to be used top side only) like my D300s has (and your D300 as well). As a footnote, for those that use cameras...

We did way threaded port mount way back in the film days, and there are good and sound reasons why we switched to a bayonet system.

Chuck, you must have misread, nowhere does he says the Sea & Sea does not have a port lock, they do like all of our current housings. Along the controls nowadays that also counts are exposure comp for Video and WB also usefull in Video and in many instance AF-Lock/AF-ON (depending of the...

Hi EXPOSURE, I can answer all the questions you have, no problem. As for the D700, it is very popular with technical divers and Pro's for its High ISO performance, the late Wes Skile did the cover of the National Geographic (caves in Bahamas edition) with one, but most people tend to...

Ah, the DX versus FX dilemma, first a lens is always a lens and you 18-200mm is still a the same no matter what camera you put it on, the lens projects an image on the film/sensor plane, called the image circle, being DX means that this circle is smaller in diameter and will not cover a FX full...

With the D70 housing you only need the 4" dome port and no extension ring. I use one personnaly but, being the manufacturer I will refrain from commented on what would be a legitimately biased impression, suffice to say, that there are quite a few out there already and the feedback has been...

I would think likely a EVIL Nikon would have some form of adapter for the AF-S line of lenses, this adapter would add substantial thickness to the camera boby (similar to what the NEX adapter does), one thing for sure if they do come out with an Evil type camera with adapter, you can bet as a...

10mm F2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye - Fisheye Lenses - SigmaPhoto.com Sigma has a 10mm Fisheye that is HSM, I don't know if Ikelite support the lens, but IMO it should work nicely behind a 6 " dome port (same used for the Nikon 10.5mm), that being said the D7000 Nikon is light years ahead, both for...

I use pledge furniture polish, the waxy content repels water droplet quite well, its safe for the acrylic dome (take my manufacturing word for it), the only things is, it does not last forever, so you might have to "repolish" the dome with it once in a while during the day. ... it will also...

The Aquatica F3 had a four latches system, the D700 has two latches with safety catches, it also has a four point bayonet port with lock mechanism and not a screw mount like the F3 had, so that means your older ports won't fit. the F3 was a casting process, the D700 is machined from solid billet...

Jack, I am not trying to start a piss war, if your thing is trashing others in order to self promote yourself, so be it, people will make you out for what you are, but you better get your crap together if you think you can trash talk Aquatica on my watch, As I recall, not too long ago, you...

Jack, I am not here to pick a fight with anybody, just like it when things are clear, that’s all. If you feel you need to downsize the other products in order to promote the ones you sell, then IMO you have a very poor sense of marketing. I personally think the Nauticam products are, like our...

Hi Phil, no offense buddy, but given the close ties you have with and are actually doing some work (at DEMA among others) for Ryan from Reef photo, who happens to be the distributor of Nauticam in the USA, I would say it safe to presume that you are bound to be partial in your opinion. I have...

Just to chime in, the 17-55mm is IMO a poor performer underwater, as mentionned earlier, it lacks in field of view and close up capabillity, great top side lens but very bland underwater. and no offense but the Nikonos 35mm was as usefull as a lens cap on a Nikonos, it just happenned to be the...

Scotch degustation confirmed!
