Devon was a staff for Sub Aquatica, opened his own shop as Pacific Housing.

Not sure yet, will let you know.

I will when I get my double scotch! :D

Wishfull, reality is we find out pretty much at the same time as everybody, and when we find out ahead of time it will be a day or two before the actual launch date, we have great relation ship with the local reps who gives us access, when they can, to the first demo camera so we can laser scan...

They would be called Pacific Camera and run by a chap named Devon PACIFIC HOUSING REPAIR 820 Park Row #600 Salinas, CA 93901 (831) 751-3885 pacifichsg@redshift.comwww.pacifichousingrepair.com

Real can of worm that one!:D I shot the Canon system for 20 years and been shooting Nikon for the last 21 now. worked as a camera repair technician and service manager for 10 years and have been involved in camera retail since 1971, I had my share of mishap over the years with both brands, but...

Here is my take on TTL: There is a law called the inverted square law that regulates light when it travels through air, the law state that whenever light travel it will lose strength, this can be measured by using the inverted square law, every time light will double its distance it will lose...

I would definitely goe for a housing with optical fiber connection to take full advantage of the Inon Z-240, also with the upcoming Nikon D7000, there will be a pretty good selection of housing available. I won't comment on housing choice as it would be quite improper due to my obvious bias:D

The D40 was a entry level housing made from a casting, due to fluctuation in shape of this method, it would have been very expensive to get a solution that would have worked consistently and this would have reflected on the pricing, this is the major reason we moved away from casting and are now...

Your right Chuck, I meant the D7000, we are working on both design at the same time and I got my number crossed :confused:, mind you the D3100 housing/camera kit will be a knock out also:D I am sure that, as with all of us, you will find it much better looking through a "normal" viewfinder...

The Live View feature really affects the autofocus, rendering it to a unusable level, that is IMO the quirk of this Live View generation (I use a D300s which is pretty much the same imaging guts), The high ISO performance can be really helpful when using color correction filter in available...

Great stuff, I can tell you are using a magic filter, the moment the camera is out you went all pinky:D

Herman, you might want to check the Sigma 17-70mm. I have this lens as a go around fish lens and like it a lot (inexpensive too), one big plus with this lens is how close it focuses (+/- 1:2.3 depending on camera). Cheers

Just a correction, the Nauticam is made in China, not in the USA

We have had electronic control in the past and moved away from it, not only are they temperemental in a salty and humid environment, but should the housing f#$$d, they you are out both of a camera and a housing, mechanical linkage is also easy to maintain in the field and independent from each...

Your K1000 descend directly from the Asahi Pentax Spotmatic introduced in 1964 and remained virtually unchanged mechanically until it was pulled from the market in 1997, shutter mechanism, mirror box, slow speed governor pretty much remained the same through out its life span, that brings...

It is a question that I am asked quite often, and yes for the most part, they are hand crafted, we do benefit from new CNC (computer numerically controlled) machinery that help us get those slick hi tech looks that you see on housing nowadays, older version housings were casting and you needed...

There are tons of images taken with the Tokina 10-17mm with both Canon & Nikon camera, the body has no influence on the lens behavior. The main reason the 10-17mm is popular is field of view, the 10-17mm is a fisheye with +/-180 degrees FOV, the 11-16mm is +/- 104 degrees of FOV, that is close...
