    Dear fltekdiver,

     

    I think you should re-check your ebay information. The Canon T2i Ikelite Housing has never sold on ebay for $600.00. This is also known as a Canon 550D (international). This is a brand new Ikelite model and has likely not been listed on ebay much at all. This is not comparable to a 500D or any other Canon / Ikelite model. The Canon T2i has excellent low light focusing abilities and does full 1080p video too.

     

    The Canon T2i is most comparable to the Canon 7D model; yet less expensive.

    Hi, I been watching these sell on forms and Ebay for around $600.00 used

     

    I know its barley used, but its still used

     

    I'll offer the same, $600.00 and live in Florida also :)

     

    I can pay cash, so theres no pay-pal fees etc

     

    Id be willing to trade a R/C Helicopter if your into flying RC helis as well, just built it, never flown, Align Trex 500 ESP, Id trade for the housing

     

    I dont need to port, at least I dont think I do, I'll be shooting with a dome port most of the time for wide angle

     

    My email adress is:

    Shambala,

     

    The most popular lenses are:

     

    Sigma 50mm Macro

    Canon EF-S 60mm Macro

    Canon EF 100mm Macro USM or USM L IS

    Tokina 10-17mm Fisheye Zoom

    Tokina 11-16mm

    Sigma 8-16mm

    Canon EF-S 10-22mm

    Sigma 17-70mm

     

     

     

    Dear Steve,

     

    How helpful will image stabilization be on the 100mm for a Canon T2i? The Canon EF-L IS 100mm vs the Canon 100mm EF-S?

     

    Thank you,

    Hi partner,

    The problem with the 50mm lenses is the close focusing distance. They are in the 1.5 ft/ half a meter range. The go to lens for the T2i would be the Canon 60mm macro (great fish lens and non moving subject macro), the Canon 100mm macro (more working distance) and the Tokina 10-17 for W/A.

     

    Good luck,

    Steve

     

     

    Will there be much of a sharpness difference between these lenses and the "L" series lenses by Canon? They are so expensive.

    Was wondering what the most popular lenses are for using a Canon T2i underwater.

     

    I was looking at:

     

    Canon 50mm F1.8 for $119.00

    Canon 50mm F1.4 for $359.00

    Canon 50mm F1.2 for $1,449.00

    Tonika 10-17mm for approximate $550.00

     

    Not sure if "L" lenses are really necessary for sharpness for underwater photography. Are they that noticably different? Any oppinions on the best macro and wide angle lenses for a T2i would be greatly appreciated for Underwater use with an Aquatica housing (likely).

     

    Thank you!

     

     

    Also looking at:

     

    Canon 50mm F2.8 EF-S $422.00

    I was wondering whether someone with video experience could let me know whether they feel that a new Canon T2i or 7D can accomplish great underwater video (including close ups) as decently as a true HD video camcorder. I have heard that the Canon cameras cannot autofocus during video mode and that they recommend that everything be at least 2 feet away from the camera. Is it still possible to get great closeups with great focus from one of these DSLR's or must one go to a seperate video solution?

     

    Thank you,

    Looking to buy a Canon Rebel T2i (I believe this is best for the price at this time). Trying to plan out the best solution for it. I have used Ikelite in the past but would like to consider the aquatica and sea&sea or Inon strobes. Only concern is possibly giving up on TTL and relying on optical fiber instead. Going shortly to Sulawesi and hope to not feel that my results there will be a waste. I'd greatly appreciate any advice from anyone who feels that they are getting great macro results.

     

    Thank you,
