Housing for C5050Z

[kawabunga0]

Just bought myself a C5050Z digital and am now looking for a suitable housing. I am more or less going for an Ikelite housing but would like to hear what you, the experts, might have to share.

I am also looking to order it on-line from anywhere outside of Malaysia and would be grateful for suggestions of best prices found so far by people who have bought this housing.

Singapore pricing is Singapore $1000.00

Please advise on how this housing compares to the Olympus PT-015, esp. for depths reaching 30-35m

Thanks so much.

I'm using the Olympus PT-015 and am very pleased with it. Also using the Sea & Sea YS90DX strobe.

Jeff Farris has done an excellent comparison of the housings available for the C-4040. I'm sure the info still applies to the C-5050. You can find it HERE in Digital Diver's Library.

Most appreciated. Will check out the comparisons.

Also, if there are any good distributors of these two housings in Europe or the States, please let me know.

Thanks.

Read through these threads and you'll find lots of information. HERE'S ONE just posted in the last day or so answering your same question.

Both of those distributors fit your criteria.

If really interested, you can actually order it from japan. I bought mine over there for about $300 or 19800 yen. It's so much cheaper over there.
