Sony DSLR A550 Housing

[markusde]

Is there any good housing for Sony's DSLR A550 (Link: Amazon.com: Sony Alpha DSLR-A550L 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm Lens: Camera & Photo

I am using this excellent DSLR since a few months, but so far only over the water. It seems to me to be THE device for underwater pics, because of its high light intensity and low noise in dark situations. And the colors are just amazing.

Thanks, Markus

I think I looked for a housing for the sony alpha a 550 before and couldn't find one. I could find them for the models above and below but not for that one.

I believe (from DEMA) that BSKINETICS has a more or less universal housing that is designed for the A550.
From BS
"The Gibson underwater housing was developed for consumer digital SLR camera models such as the Canon 550D, Sony A550 and Panasonic GH2. Like all BS Kinetics camera housing, it is built using carbon fibre and epoxide resin, along with stainless steel, POM and saltwater-proof aluminium. These components can be used to make very light waterproof housing which can be used at a diving depth of up to 160m. Therefore, casing suitable for the purposes of technical divers can also be supplied."
Give them a call. Don't know of a U.S. distributor though.

and unfortunately, priced accordingly. But the carbon fiber certainly looks cool. Great way to get the girls (so I have been told)
