Looking for Ikelite housing for my Oly E-330 (plus ports + 125DS strobe in the very near future ).
Payment through paypal and shipping would be to a good friend of mine who lives in the US (VA).
¿Any still available?
Thanks !!

B&H photo's website still has them but listed as "special order" not in stock, and Ikelite's site still has them in the "current" model list for their Olympus page.

Thank you rtrski! I considered that option .... but I was hoping to find a used one and save some $. Still looking.

some stores on the internet have used departments and I think B&H does as well, I could be wrong. Good Luck.

Hi Ichi (AKA: "Pink Lady")

You can try in this website (secondhand section) www.dbuceo.com, is for Olympus Underwater users in Sapnish ;-)

H20 Photo pros is only asking $1300 for it now. Not sure if it's actually in stock or not - site doesn't seem to say.

Just had a funny thought - anyone ever 'shared' a housing via mailing back and forth? I mean, I only really get to use it perhaps 20 days out of the year - the rest of the time someone else may as well use it. Would have to have some trust in the other participant though in terms of proper care and fixing their own (non-cosmetic) damage by sending to Ike before shipping off to the next guy.

Sorry, random rambling, but if you noted my siggy you know why I got to thinking about it. "Renting" out my housing would no doubt void my equipment insurance.

I´ve also had your "funny thought" many times as well, and in fact, I know some stores are already offering this service with an additional insurance cost. If I can´t find a housing and ports by the time I head off back to the Red Sea in august, I may consider using this option. However, I´m not sure the mailing back and forth would work   .... risky due to handling and taking forever with the actual mail service, or even worse, getting lost.
Only 20 days out of the year?
