Hello to everyone!
After some time looking around I've finally decided to buy an Ikelite Housing for my D70. I'm not living in the USA (I do it in Spain), but a friend of mine will stay this June some days in NY. And that's great, because Ikelite products are cheaper in the States.

The lenses I plan to use are:
Sigma 17-35mmD 2.8EX HSM
Nikon 10.5mm Fisheye 2.8
Nikon or Sigma for macro, probably Sigma 105mm

Until now I've understood that I need:

The underwater Housing: #6807.1 (I hope Ikelite starts shipping it in June, as I heard)
A dome port: #5510.82
A flat port: #5505.58
Cover O-Ring: #0132.59
Port O-Ring: #0105

And now my questions are:
That's it? Haven't I forgot anything? Should I take also the #5510.16 and the #5510.24 body, in case I want to adapt better to other lenses? What about the Sigma 17-35mm lens? Will it fit? (I say it because it's not mentioned at Ikelite's Ports Chart. Does that mean that this lens is not working?)?
And finally, is there any other adapter needed? Any clamp or zoom set? I suppose the housing's sealing O Ring is included? Buying one or two of them for replacement seems convenient, doesn't it?

Thank you very much for any help. As you see, my knowledge about underwater housings is pretty reduced, but I'm trying to improve as fast as possible.
