I did a quick search of threads and didn't see these questions answered so . . . .
I currently own a Nikonos V, Ikelite Substrobe 200 and a Sea & Sea YS90 with separate connectors for both strobes.
On the dry Nikon side, I have the original D70 & 18-70mm zoom and a Sigma 28-200mm macro-zoom. I will be buying a good wide-angle like the Sigma 10-20mm for this camera and an as-yet unspecified 1:1 macro lens (any suggestions?).
I am looking seriously at the Aquatica D-70 housing, but am open to any suggestions, although the 300 fsw depth rating is very appealing to me.
1) What ports will I need for that housing with these lenses? The base housing is $1700. What other accessories will I need for this housing and these lenses?
And I already assume that neither of my strobes will "work" in i-TTL mode with my D70 given its proprietary nature, so:
2) What strobes will work with this setup? Is there any sense in using either of these old strobes; is there any way to?
I'm not entirely clear on the UW strobe options for this camera. If a strobe will work in TTL mode, then great, but even my relatively newer Nikon Speedlight SB-50DX for my Nikon N80 film camera doesn't work except in manual mode with the D-70.
Thanks for any input on these questions.
