Ikelite Lens Port for 20D, 18-55 lens

[Chris Sawallich]

I am finally going to pick up the Ikelite housing for my 20D.. I am still using the kit lens 18-55mm, as I havent upgraded yet... and am wondering which port to go with??

Any suggestions?????

Check out Ike's port chart. You have a choice of 6" or 8" dome. The 18-55 should be pretty flexible to use. Adding another lens would be perhaps be a wider angle lens or macro.

Just went for one for now... I am sure I am going to have a backscatter issue, shooting in the pristine waters of the northeast... but Ill get comfortable with the rig this year.. I plan on adding another strobe next year.. I havent gotten it wet yet, but plan on it tomorrow...Ill let you know how it goes..

How did it go last week....U will do great for a while till u get sick of the shadows one strobe leaves.. Mostly in darker shots or @ night but dont let me get u down u will get some great shots w/1 strobe good shooting... Rem. take lots of pic. u can allways delete them later...

So far soo good... Got it wet a couple of times.. Check out my gallery, I added a couple from a Quarry dive we did, Not much to take pictures of, and the vis wasnt the best, but had a blast with it anyway.. I cant wait to get in somewhere there is actually somthing to snap a photo..

Looks like a great time out with the new gear!

I only have one strobe so don't sweat going dual until you are ready and have the cash - you don't NEED two Then once you add the second one you get to start over on the learning curve!

Have fun!
