where to buy?

[deputydan1]

yes!
my wife and i DID meet you and Richard......you guys were both great....
and i think the ikelite makes sense....will call ya....

ps> since the TTL flash works with the ds-strobes...does that mean i will not need to adjust the flash? it would be all automatic then??????

thanks,

I hope you visited our booth at the scuba show today or yesterday, but-

We don't suggest or sell the PT-023 for a few reasons.

I have seen several housings have the lens port latches fail, which is totall unacceptable. The bulkhead is also very poorly designed, and will corrode in place (often within a few months...). The Olympus housing also has no optically good solution for wide angle photography.

This is very disappointing, considering its price.

I suggest the Ikelite housing for this camera. It may be a bit more expensive, but it has a real port, a real bulkhead, and a real wide angle optionl It also has Olympus TTL Conversion Circuitry when used with Ikelite DS- Strobes, making flash exosure automatic. A tray and handle is included in the price.

The disadvantage of this housing is that it doesn't allow the use of the cameras internal flash...

Cool, I'm glad you stopped by!

Yeah, the gist of TTL is that the camera makes exposure calculations, and our Ikelite customers are thrilled with the accuracy of the system.

With the DS-125 strobe, you can override the ttl circuitry if you ever find a situation in which it isn't working well, but the word on the street is that doesn't happen much
