    Aquatica AD300s + Nikon D300s + Tokina 10-17mm/Sigma 10-20mm/Sigma 17-70mm

    Here is a good deal, Aquatica D300s + Nikon D300s lens kit, since I have upgraded to the D800/D800E, I no longer put a lot of action on my D300s kit, Since I work for Aquatica, you can be assured of the proper maintenance and condition of this housing, this is my own personal gear (as opposed to...

    Buyer Beware - Nauticam Multipurpose Clamp w/Shackle

    I would recommend you use some Loctite on the thread of the fastener, the 680 Green is a pretty much a Permanent solution (you would need to really heat it up high to break its bond), but the 271 (red) is not permanent and will lock the fastener also, there is also the 222MS (pink) that is...

    Bought Nikon D90, I have some questions.

    You can't go wrong with these two lenses as building block, a sizable chunk of image made today are with these two lenses. Sea & Sea did do make a housing for the Nikon D90, you might be able to find used housing for the D90, and I would suggest this approach, since the camera is a discontinued...

    Is it OK to fly with housing sealed up?

    You should never, ever, travel by air with a sealed up housing, forget about o-ring, but you could easily pop a window or unseat a port lens from it seal, manufacturer don't write that stuff in the manual just for making your life miserable, we know what can and does happen, trust your...

    D800 Housing - Which is the best?

    The add on Action Finder (AKA sport finder) have gone out with the film cameras, I believe the Nikon F5 (and possibly the F6) where the last one produced, I would thing that with all the electronic, thing kind of got complicated for the camera manufacturers, so the removable prism concept went...

    Lens for a new Nikon D800

    I'll second Jack's opinion, the Sigma 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye, The Nikon 16-35mm f/4 and the Nikon 105mm f/2.8 Macro VR, that would be a very flexible trio on which to built.

    Considering new Nikon D7000 - would appreciate comments/alternatives

    If you are referring to a "Legacy 2 Digital" type of chip implantation, then for top side you might have a nostalgic argument, but for underwater use... C'mon, big waste of time and money if you ask me, you need to modify an old lens, have custom focus gears made (If possible at all), live with...

    Considering new Nikon D7000 - would appreciate comments/alternatives

    Rainer, it is not like me to contradict people, but I have read my D7000, D300s, and D800 manual, all say that while the display will show the aperture value (if the lens is properly indexed in the NON-CPU section of your menu) you still have to rotate the aperture ring to change its value...

    Considering new Nikon D7000 - would appreciate comments/alternatives

    It goes beyond the manual focus issue, manual focus lens had a aperture ring and this is how you changed F/stop in these days, most manufacturer do not support these older lenses, so focus gear supply will be an issue, but more dramatic, I don't know of any housing manufacturer that does...

    If Nikon wanted an UW advantage why not a new Nikonos?

    Lwang, Even if this was the case, a Digital dedicated underwater camera with what you suggest would be a seriously expensive venture for any camera company. About leaks, on a Nikonos type camera, even a minor slow leak would be fatal to the camera and for the record, anything that has...

    If Nikon wanted an UW advantage why not a new Nikonos?

    Wow I'm totally the opposite, I don't miss the guess'omatic focusing, the metal framer for the macro, the 36 exposure waiting for a few days (weeks) for the Kodachrome to come back, the temperamental advance lever design, etc, etc. Now, if they can give me instant reviewing of my work, 200+...

    comparison of Nikon DSLR's cameras

    Typically a housing life span will far outlast the camera it was designed for, my recommendations is to get the latest camera model and as good a quality as you can afford, in this essence the Nikon D700o is unbeatable, it is the latest technology, has impresive video quality and has dual...

    lens port for aquatica d90

    With the 60mm, go for AF version, the manual overide starts to make senses if you start using longer lenses such as the 105mm with added close up lenses like +5 or +10 (AKA diopters or wet diopter), then the lens auto focus is all but useless. the Nikon 60mm AF (especially the newer one) is...
