In Topic: Any interest in a Canon 16-35mm II Ikelite port?

What exactly are you thinking of doing? I might be interested but I would need to know how reliable your "invention" is. Failure of a "modified" Ike part is not an option...

In Topic: 5DII upgrade dilemma - 16-35II is messing me up!

Are there any good non Fish Eye FF lenses for the 5DII (other than the 17-40)? I prefer the look of rectilinear WA lenses and I'm trying not to duplicate the 16-35II. Primes are OK and it sounds like non-Canon lenses are a viable option in this case.

Thanks for your input guys. I don't need a zoom. I just happen to have the 16-35II. I've been using the Canon 10-22mm for quite a while and I shoot everything at 10mm (16mm with 20D crop). I'm going to look into the Sigma 15FE now....

what about a canon or sigma f2.8 15mm Fisheye ?


I want to stick with Canon lenses. I did consider the Canon FE but have no experience with FE lenses. I'll look into that. Thanks!

I'm an Ikelite customer right now (20D housing, dual DS-125 strobes, 8" dome, ULCS arms, etc) but the upgrade to the 5DII with 16-35II lens has thrown me off since Ike has no port for that lens. I'm now considering Aquatica. I know nothing about Aqautica housings so here are some really basic questions:

1- Do the Aquatica housings support e-TTL-II like Ike's?
2- Will the Aquatica housings work with DS-125 strobes?
3- I assume my dual sync cables won't work (different housing connectors?). If so, how much are dual sync cords?
4- Will my ULCS arms work with your housing or do I need adapters?

I suppose I should visit your web site for this info but you are right here and I haven't had my second cup of coffee yet this am (lazy/tired).

Thanks!
