I have been shooting a D90 in an Ikelite housing for about 3 years (after using a coolpix in a housing for 10+years). On a recent trip to Jamaica, the housing would not hold vacuum and I discovered a hairline crack at two different control holes. Ikelite quoted $400 for a service/repair/replace the front of the housing. While I have been generally happy learrng with the D90, I felt it was time to upgrade to use my Z6 underwater. I thought about staying with Ikelite, but the cracked plastic housing turned me off a bit. When I found a new Nauticam Z7v housing, for a deeply discounted price, I jumped at it.
Now I need to fill out the rest of the kit and divest my old gear, which I will probably post on the SB classifieds. I bought an adapter that will let me use my Ikelite flat ports, but my new 14-30 lens is too wide to fit in the Ikelite port extension. I found that Nauticam had an adapter for the Ike modular 8-inch dome (the NA-21323), but they informed me it's been discontinued for some time. I've searched the usual marketplaces and haven't been able to find one listed (or sold). If anyone has a lead on where I might find this adapter, I would appreciate it.
Any tips or hints or suggestions moving from the Ikelite/D90 to the Nauticam/Z6 would be welcome!
