FS: Ikelite housing & dome port - digital rebel 300d

[mstudley]

I've only managed to take this housing on 5 sw dives and really can't justify the cost having it sit around. The housing (IK6870.1) and dome port (IK5503) are in like new condition and comes in the original packaging. If you would like detailed pics of the housing/port or have any questions please sent me a PM. I purchased the setup from B&H, so what you see is what you get:

Dome Port:

Original purchase price was $1,393.80 which included shipping. I'm selling for $1,200 shipped anywhere or best offer (please make reasonable offers). I accept PayPal (preferred) and certified bank check. You can check my seller status on ebay if you like (v_1matst). Thanks!

hmmm.... after checking around I realized I priced this a little high to start. Why don't we start at a more reasonable $1000 or best offer for everything?

Just another note, this is the eTTL version of the housing. Thanks.

Bump for $900 or best offer. I'd be willing to trade for an Omega Seamaster Professional also.

It's off to eBay if there are no takers this time!

Do you think its possible to get an XT to work in this housing?

I imagine so. The body of the camera is almost identical to the 300D and the housing looks almost identical (take a look at Ikelite's website) except the XT sports eTTL2 circuitry while the 300D has eTTL.

Just to be safe, I'd email Ikelite and ask them. I know the dome port will work for the 18-55mm lens that comes in the XT kit.

Emailed IK - Got replies from two different reps, they say even retro-fitting the box wont work.

Really? That's too bad Did they say why? All the buttons/controls seem to be the same.

if you take a look at the rebel and the XT side by side you will notice quite a bit of size difference (XT is smaller).
