Housing a G6 and Converting to iTTL

[DaveCT]

Hi everyone, I'm a total noob here so bear with me please Been lurking and researching for several weeks in my attempts to go digital after years of 35mm work. I have a Canon G6 that I would love to put to use underwater and I also have an SB105 and arms leftover from my Nikonos setup. Is there any combo of housings and converters that would allow me to use the G6 in TTL mode with the SB105? Thanks mucho in advance for any advice on this.

No. A Heinrichs Weikamp DA-O-N "might" work.

The most reliable option would be an Ikelite housing + a DS Strobe, but Ikelite G6 housings are discontinued and have dried up from most retailers.

Thanks Ryan, I appreciate the feedback. Therefore, my understanding is that by using the HW digital adapter, my SB105 becomes an optically slaved TTL strobe to the Canon? You are correct though on the Powershot housing, I have just done some searching and cannot find them anywhere, not even EBay. It is looking like I may have to abandon the idea of using the G6.
