Ikelite Canon G9 Housing, small defect ...

[apollox]

Hi All!
I have found out strange defect on my new Ikelite G9 Housing (see picture). It looks as a small scratch. May be, it is small defect on the casting form.
I tested housing while only in fine pool, leakings were not...
Do you have the same on your housing?
Sorry for not good English

My Ikelite housing just came in last night. I will look at it this afternoon when I get home and send you a message.

I have the same thing on mine, no problems with the housing.

 

[waynel]

Sorry to get back to you so late. Yes, I have that too. Evidently nothing to worry about.

I don't have that on my 400D housing. Should I be worried?

Yes, I would send it back and say "I WANT MY LITTLE SCRATCH!"

Answer from Ikelite:

Thank you for the inquiry. The mark shown in the
picture appears to be a simple cosmetic mold line
that occurs during the mold process. It does not
affect the durability or waterproof integrity of
the housing.

By the way, for what this button-lever (see pic)? I have no idea...
