Hey,
I've been monkeying around with a small canon P&S in a Canon UW Housing. A friend at work recently (5 hours ago) gave me his old SLR housing and Strobe. The Housing is a "Ikelite SLR-AF Case" with a "Ikelite Substrobe". He kept the camera, but it was an Olympus 5000 IIRC.
This case and strobe are circa 1988, and I was wondering exactly which cameras are compatible with this Housing and Strobe. The documentation is rather sparse, but it appears that the case is compatible with a wide variety of SLRs (at least at the time). Does anyone have expereince with this model housing or strobe? I'm not even sure if the Strobe still works. It has not been used in a dozen years, is there any service I should look into before trying to use this case and strobe? I have an original Canon EOS that I will be trying to put in there tonight, and see what happens.
Anything else I should know? Anyone ever heard of this case? I tried the search, but didn't find anything relevent.
Tom
