Ikelite Housing Help

[bladephotog]

I just got my Ikelight housing and 8" dome port for my Canon 20d and 10-22. After the port is mounted there is a little play in the port. I can rotate it in a circle and the bottom port lock seems a little loose. There is just a touch of up and down play. Is this normal?

Thanks.

It is normal for the port to be a little loose. Check the port o-ring by examining the base of the port where it meets the housing to make sure it is seated properly. The pressure of the water when you get it in should seal the port. I had the same issue as well with my Ike Nikon D-70 housing and port. I'm not certain as to the loose lock, though. It may be worth talking to Ike about it just to be sure.

Thanks for the info. I'll dive it w/o camera the first time but I'll call Ike as well.
