In Topic: Is the IkeLite underwater housing good for the Canon 60D?

I am a bit confused with the direction of the sync bulkhead on the 60d housing: my 20d housing aims it very different.

Any reason this is posted in film cameras? Ikelite housings are ok, the ergonomy could be better (especially the wheels used for wheel controls on the camera, in contrast with other housings the top wheel is not permanently touching the camera so it is slower to use). If possible get an inon or nauticam viewfinder, that improves it quite a bit. As for strobes. The ttl function is build in so it makes sense to use ikelites if you want that. It does work great with macro. On the other hand, they can give some troubles ( I've had fliods for unknown reasons with my ds51 so i had to call on ikelites service department a couple of times, they are great at service but I'd rather not have to). It is easier to start with one strobe, you can always get a second one later.

No longer available, used it as a trade in for a modular flat port.

Ikelite only have extensions for their modular ports. I expect this specific lens port will be tight.

check if the sigma extends during focus, that is a disadvantage. Both the older Canon 100mm USM and the newer one with IS are a fixed length.
