OK, here is a way. Your port should have come with a soft plastic cover. Cut a hole in the center and epoxy a 77-67 step down ring into it after cutting off the 77 threads and smoothing on a belt sander. Use velcro fuzzy tape on the inside to protect your port glass from scratching. You now...

The function of a dome port is twofold: it is a water seal, and it acts as a lens. It is a lens solely because of the difference of the index of refraction between air and water (1.0 vs 1.33), not due to varying thickness. For best performance, the dome surface should be equidistant from the...

Yes, 10Bar does have a dry mount lens with dome port option. For wider angle use, Ikelite recommends using their W-20 wet lens (see thumbnails). Details The 10Bar solution uses a dry mount wide conversion lens inside a dome port. It is said to yield an good improvement but I have not...

I'm sure you are aware, but in case not, there are two available ports from Athena and Inon that have M67 thrreads. They also allow manual focus using a magnetic ring, or you can use the Olympus "zoom" gear. I have not seen a solution to adding wet macro lenses to the PP-E05 port - you might...

As I posted a while ago, the Olympus PTWC-01 wide conversion lens works well with this housing, according to Yuzo in Japan. They got the cameras and housings in Japan a month before the US, and had time to play with all the options. The Olympus lens is an older lens, but was way overdesigned...

I agree the older cams can sometimes be great performers. But they can also be hard to find. In general, it's easiest to get the camera and housing when they are still in production. You can get a cheaper price on something a generation older or so older, but after that availability gets...

Back when I worried about leaks, I used Maxi Pads from any supermarket. Seriously. They will absorb a lot of water, are sold worldwide and the price is right. And oh by the way, be very careful not to close the case on whatever moisture absorbent pack you put in a case. I have heard of...

Do not assume you will be able to buy the short port. The housing is discontinued, and this was an option not everyone bought. If you find a housing with it, jump on it.

Here is a rough translation from Japanese to English: Google Translate And for laughs only, here is another attempt by Babelfish: Translation result for https://shop.olympus-imaging.jp/html/category/001/001/58/category58_0.html I wonder what the translation programs would do with "Ching...

The buttons on Canon and Ikelite housings get sticky due to dried salt on the shaft. To minimize that, you have to rinse well in fresh water after each dive, depressing the buttons to flush the saltwater. Once it dries it leaves salt, which is hard to remove once deposited. Salt on the shaft...

Put a Wanted ad in the classifieds section. This is rare, may be hard to find. Ikelite only.

For underwater, we have to make compromises because the available camera, lens, housing, or port might not coordinate well. Before you get locked into a choice of camera or lens, make sure there is a housing and a port that works with them. Underwater a most useful lens is the Tokina 10-17mm...

This topic was about trying to get the HW TTL converter to work in a 10Bar housing with the LX5 and Ikelite DS161 strobes. For whatever reason the original poster could not get it to work, gave up and used the fiber optic cord to his S&S 110a strobe, which is not quite as elegant, but works...

I think you missed my point. I love the shots you are getting with your S90/S95. You really have a great setup and know how to use it to its maximum potential. Not many divers could and that's to your credit. And I think the S95 is a great little camera. I have an S90, virtually the same...

The Canon is a Point and shoot camera, a very good one, but not in the same league as a Digital SLR camera. It is very good as a travel cam, being very small. It's housing is very small too, no matter the brand. So if you are an average diver who wants to fly to dive spots, it's really a good...

I need the housing only for a Sea&Sea DX-2G. If your camera died but the housing is still OK, Send PM with details.

Price reduced to $549.99. PM for details.

As you may know, the HW Digital Adapter is an optical sensor that reads the camera flash and drives a Nikonos or Sea&Sea electrical connector. It's not the HW TTL Converter that mounts on the hotshoe -- that seems to have linguistic challenges with Panasonic's dialect of eTTL (but works fine...

The early reviews of the E-PL1 used cameras with old firmware. The latest firmware sped up the autofocus quite a bit. Then you can swap in the newer 14-42mm II lens for even faster autofocus. That is much faster, but the reviews were never updated. The E-PL1 is just as fast as the E-PL2, as...

No, there is no product manufactured to do TTL flash with that strobe. Manual, of course, but not TTL flash. The standard Ikelite to Sea&Sea cables are 4 wire and do not carry the power line needed to power the Ikelite TTL converter in the housing, so it's only good for manual operation. And...
