Full time video/photo pro to work at the Manta Ray Bay Hotel in Yap, Micronesia. Sounds fun! Video/photo pro - land or underwater? Shooting daily videos, yes ... land or uw?

We also have a number of equipments and experienced in handling different cameras from the point and shoot film to digital to video. We both come equipped with MacBook Pros and very, very geeky when it comes to computers and multimedia.

I'm interested in your Ikelite Housing for the D100.  The housing and the port, the whole package of everything of what you have for the Nikon D100.  The complete system, how much do you want for them?

I AM, I AM.  PLEASE EMAIL ME PHOTOS!  What's included in the whole package and how much?  Received your email but my smtp server's down, couldn't reply through email.

ahhh ...yes ... digital Nikonos ... if only.  I still shoot with my trusty Nikonos V and love it.

But back to the story at hand.  I am also antsy to upgrade from my D100 to something (ie: D80 or D200).  The "weather proofing" sounds like a great idea - but thats 3 stories I've heard where the D100/D200s are flooded and Nikon replies with an "unrepairable" ... my story included.  Last fall, I flooded my D100 housing.  Nikon were able to repair my 17-35mm f/2.8 lens but the estimate for the D100 was "Uneconomical to Repair" (Nikon words!!!).  Fortunately I had a backup D100 so my topside photo taking wasnt a total loss.  But I wonder (outloud) whether the weather proofing on the D200 actually add any value to a flooded camera?.

Anyone have stories where a flooded D100/D200 was repaired by Nikon?

I've flooded not just one Nikon SLR, but three and all of them came back unrepairable.  And guys, thanks for the advices, I appreciate it very much.  If I get an ikelite casing, would my other ports be still usable with the digital set-up?

Dear Nordic,

I noticed your request for an Aquatica A100 for a Nikon F100. It happens to be that I have a Subal N10 housing for a F100 for sale. Subal are also very good housings, as you probably know.

See my topic from the 28th of May, 'Subal N10 underwaterhousing (and more)'.

Greetings,

Diverosa.

p.s. If your not interested, good luck with your quest.

Hi! I'm also looking for an underwatercasing for my D100. How much are you selling your Subai and what's included?
