Have Ports, Stobes, etc too I'd be willing to discuss
with buyer of Subal housing or to other interested
buyers after housing sells.
Will not separate or list until housing sells.
-
Update - I've decided I'll absorb the fees if you decide to purchase
via Square with a credit card. I prefer them over Paypal as I've
had a couple issues with PP in the past.
Buyer still pays shipping.
Thanks.

I bought a 5D2 housing from Cary and can say that was the most pleasant experience. Very forthcoming with information and the housing was every bit as nice as he said.Forest
Thanks Forest. I appreciate the kind words.
I hope it worked out well for your trip.

For Sale - Subal CD4 Housing for Canon 1DMKIV - New $5000
http://www.subal.com/en/produkte/gehaeuse/..._mk4/1d_mk4.php
Never been wet. Still in Bubble Wrap. Type 4 Port Mount.
Handles, Extra O-Ring incl.
Please email me at carydeanphoto@gmail.com. My internet connection
is spotty and I can't always log on but I still get emails on my mobile.
I'm in Bangkok, Thailand.
Will try to get pics up tomorrow.
Buyer pays shipping and Paypal fee if that's how payment is made.
I can also take Credit Cards via Square plus their fee (less than PP's fee).
Thanks.

Flew them last year from Nadi.
Ticket counter was helpful and gave me a pass on carry on camera
bag (which was way over weight but had been allowed by every other airline )
after I pleaded my case about pro camera gear etc.
Security agent sent me back to counter (different agent)
where they proceeded to hit me with $350US in overweight fees and
claimed they would gate check at boarding time.
They never came back at boarding time and I still
carried bag on.
Was less than happy and felt like I'd been scammed
but was happy to be on to next leg of trip.

Hey guysHow would a Hasselblad 500c/m and a 50mm go underwater? is that just a portrait setup? I want to shoot models with it and have found a hasselblad and housing combo thats in my budget but i'm worried 50mm is not wide enough.
Thoughts?
Cal
It's like a 28mm in 35mm terms.

Hi Cary,Do you still have the housing?
Thanks for the inquiry.
I'm awaiting payment from a fellow Wetpixeler
which is why it's not marked sold (yet).
Should be wrapped up by early next week.
If for any reason it should fall through I'll
let you know. Thanks again!

You're right it is not current tech but it still works... A better investment might be in newer tech
but only for a while. There's always something newer. Perhaps a system where you can continue to use
the ports (from a system for your 5D1) a couple generations into the future (MKII, MKIII - whatever)
would be a better long term benefit. I've found, though it may not always be so, that you lose money
every time you buy a housing and then upgrade to the newest and latest.
There was a used 5DMK 1 housing that was modified to use with a MKII recently for sale here on WP.
It should be better priced than a specific MKII housing (I didn't pay much attention when I glanced at the
classifieds). The issue is some housing manufacturers upgrade their port systems (Subal type 3 - type 4)
to keep up with the increasing girth of some newer wide zoom lenses which could mean you wouldn't
be able to use them on their newer type 4 mount housings. (sometimes there are adapters)
I think Aquatica has the same size port mounts and their housings are relatively affordable (especially used)
so that might be a more cost effective way to house your MKI. Something to consider.... Good luck.

Need more info. Will it actually be getting wet?

Ft Lauderdale or Monterey.
or the Scuba show in Long Beach next month.
(not sure what shows may be going on near you)

I use a similar lanyard to Gina's except that it has two steel clips instead of that nasty plastic one and loop. I bought it on the UK e-bay. Here is a similar, but not identical, one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STAINLESS-STEEL-SPRU...=item56403119ddI have a Cetacea. Attaches to the metal ring under my dovetail
for my strobe arms.
(this one but with 2 metal clips - http://www.cetaceacorp.com/coil-lanyard-en.html)
I didn't know they could be factory customized until I asked
the right person. Only $5 addl for the customization.

Very Nice!

Nice! Lots of great stuff on your Flickr site too!

Thanks for posting this. Howard is a master.
Appreciated reading the models perspective.
I don't know about you, but I've found great inspiration from Howard Schatz's underwater pool images.And Yoga too.
So what a nice surprise to see an underwater photograph on the cover of Yoga Journal this past month.
Also, an interesting article from the model's pov in dealing with the underwater environment here.
So, has anyone else tried capturing people in Yoga moves u/w?

Thanks for the link, Cary .... this DSLR stuff is all new & exciting to me. I'm spending more than what my skill level needs but I hope to grow into it rather than out of it. Working a lot of overtime to get what I want.I think many of us feel the same way
I hope (after the learning curve)
it exceeds your expectations. It's pretty fun!
-
Thanks gregarius .... I think I've made up my mind and am now going with the Subal & 5DMKII .... with twin Inon z 240s (unless someone could tell me why the YS-250s would be better) and the 16-35/15mm lens.It was recommended that I get the Zen 230 port.
Still would like a link to the best light supports.
Inons are smaller, lighter and have a confusing UI until you learn it.
You'll also face lower guide number, slower recycle times and the
need to change/charge batteries more often but great flashes.
250's are faster, more powerful, physically larger and way heavier.
They may also be more difficult to position for macro shots
(my experience at times) but great flashes.
You just have to decide what fits your needs better. Both will do
the job.
Canon 15mm FE + TC
in Shooting Technique, Workflow and Editing
Posted
The 15mmFE has the rear element very close to the lens mount thus no clearance.
I've not used the Kenko but have a couple of the Canon 1.4x's and the front element
extends beyond the lens mount and fits into the receiving lens.
You might be able to use an extension tube to couple the two but the minimum focusing
distance becomes very near and may be a problem for getting a dome port too near to your
subject, perhaps even subjecting your port to potential scratch damage from the reef etc.
