Hello fellow photographers and divers! I have some doubts that are killing me internally and keep me from sleep 😂. I have thought of buying a Sony Alpha a7 mark 1, and keep it as my dive camera. Since its not too expensive, its compact, and it does a great job. I am also considering getting the A7 s, which will potentially improve the results and the price difference is not too much. It would be worth it. My reason to go for a Sony Alpha as my dive camera is because their underwater housing are extremely cheap (the Meikon ones) and ive read great reviews about those housings. Also because they are overall quite good and it would work great as a backup, light camera to use aside of my massive 6D + 70-200mm setup. I am planning to just go for the 28-70 kit lens, since its also cheap and it does deliver as expected. Price range is 170-250 euros as used... I am planning to get the camera and lens as second hand. My only issue with this setup is that the Meikon housing for the mark 1, does not have a dome port. And it is something I would quite love to have. The housing designed for the mark 2 however, does support a dome port. So in theory, In order to have a dome port, I would need to start looking at the mark 2 series... For the price of a Sony Alpha a7 II, I could get the A7S (mk 1) and the a7s would be a lot better for what I need... (4k, and low light monster). Now if I have to get the A7S II, then the price would already drastically increase and its out of my budget. So its not worth it just for the dome port. I would love to know your suggestions. If I my setup is not worth it, if there is a better option for me... If the dome port is at all THAT necessary... If you could point out any flaws in this setup im thinking of... things I would eventually regret, I would be FOREVER thankful!! Should I still go for this setup with the A7 and sacrifice the dome port, in order to save as much money as I can? Of course im not expecting professional level pictures, but also not GoPro level pictures.. I want something that looks somewhat decent. I was not planning to exceed a budget of 1000 euros... (A7 + LENS + Housing would be a total of ca. 800-1000 (tops) euros, if I decide for the A7S instead, it would be a total of ca. 1250)

WILL ONLY SHIP IN USA CONTACT: ROD KLEIN 310 404 4159 rhkdiver@gmail.com www.rhkuw.com SEE PHOTOS: THE NAUTICAM NA-D810 UNDERWATER HOUSING The NA-D800 is an evolutionary marvel. A long list of pioneering engineering breakthroughs from previous Nauticam designs are now standard in NA-D800. The patented housing Locking Latch System has received acclaim worldwide for its ease and functionality. These recessed latches are equipped with safety locks, reduce bulk and require minimal physical effort to engage and release. Port changes have never been simpler than utilizing the Patented Nauticam Locking Port Release. No wrestling, no twisting, no misalignment – just seat and lock. Lens changes are also easily accomplished without removing the camera from the housing using the lens release button logically accessed on the housing front. The lightweight, rugged Nauticam handles are generously contoured with a durable over-mold process of comfortable non-slip rubber. The vacuum monitoring and leak detection circuit provides peace of mind by enabling the user to ensure that their housing is water tight before entering the water. The NA-800 is a shining example of the best that Nauticam has to offer. Every control placement is well thought out. Every button, lever and switch considered not in terms of what is easier for the designer, but what is right for the shooter. An excellent example is the patent pending Multi Controller Pad that is located within easy reach of the right thumb. The device virtually recreates the Nikon multi selector on the back of the NA-800 housing allowing full multidirectional use of this powerful tool (including diagonal movement). No other manufacturer has this. Camera loading is "drop in" simple, with no controls requiring pre-alignment, allowing the fastest and easiest setup possible. Core camera controls such as shutter release, aperture, shutter speed, live view, info, exposure compensation, depth of field preview, Fn, flash exposure compensation, focus mode, AF/M and zoom are located at the user's fingertips. Dual thumb levers, located on the right and left sides of NA-D800 pull important camera functionality from the back of the housing out to the handles. This allows quick access to Video Record, AF-ON (for thumb activated focus), ISO and Image Playback. Complete control of the camera is available from the ergonomic rubberized handles. INTEGRATED VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is shipped with NA-1DXII as standard equipment. Combined with an accessory vacuum valve (PN 25625), this monitoring system provides constant updates on the water tight and safe-to-dive status of the housing. A simple color coded LED lighting system lets the user know that the vacuum is solid, or that the housing is losing vacuum. Leak detection is built into the same circuit, so if there is water intrusion, an audible and visual indication will occur. The Nauticam system is temperature compensated, eliminating false alarms caused by a change in outside temperature, or from a camera heating up on an action packed dive.

Price = $2000 Camera housing - Sea & Sea RDX100 for canon SL1 (100D) Port - Sea & Sea Flat Port (see system chart for RDX housing online) Port Cover - Sea & Sea Neoprene Strobe Converter - Sea & Sea-Optical YS Converter for RDX Housing (have a look at videos online) This has been used for 10 dives is in great condition with only a few scratches on port. This whole setup was nearly $3k Setup is based in BC, Canada. Any shipping costs I would need an address to check costs Further details RDX100 Housing · Two Fiber-optic cable sockets. By inserting the Fiber-optic Cable into the housing connector, an external strobe will be optically connected to the camera’s built-in flash enabling full-featured strobe photography and creative lighting expression. · Features a Optical Viewfinder 0.5x that makes it easy to see the whole field of view. An optional exchangeable viewfinder can be selected as well. · Various ports including NX ports can be mounted with the RDX Port Base L or the RDX Port Base S in order to accommodate many kinds of lenses. · Easily operated shutter lever, excellent for quick snapshots. The shutter lever can be operated in two ways – pushing from the top or pulling from the front – and offers a smooth halfway press for adjusting the autofocus so you need not worry about any missed chances. · Large buckle structure (with lock function). Makes it easier to open and close the back cover than existing (metal) locking latches. · By attaching an SA8, a SEA ARM 7 Compact or a similar arm set to the tripod socket at the bottom of the housing, up to two external strobes can be mounted. · When using the optional Grip-Stay L II, you can hold the camera firmly with both hands just as you can with conventional housings. · Strong and durable build, with a depth rating of up to 60m / 200ft. seaandsea.jp/products/digital_slr/rdx100d/ Sea & Sea Optical YS Coverter Optical YS Converter/C can be built into the housing Compatible with new Optical YS Converter/C1 for RDX housing which converts the camera’s TTL Key Benefits Optical – No Need for Sync Cords Sea & Sea’s Optical YS Converter converts the electronic TTL signal into a light signal. This is good for two reasons. First, photographers can use fiber optic cables instead of sync cords. These are smaller, more reliable, cheaper, easier to maintain and will not flood (sync cords can flood at strobe or housing bulkhead end and require daily o-ring maintenance). The second benefit is that photographers can use fiber optic cables (light signal) without using the camera’s internal flash, since the Optical YS Converter converts the electronic signal into a light signal. Rapid firing of strobes with fiber optic cables was previously limited to the recycle time of the camera’s built-in flash, but this is no longer an issue. It was one of the key benefits to using sync cords over fiber optic cables, so I predict sync cords to disappear once all housing manufacturers start using optical converters. Divers also save camera battery life by not using the camera’s built-in flash. Change from TTL to Manual During the Dive Another major feature of Sea & Sea’s Optical YS Converter is the ability to switch between TTL and Manual power with the press of a button. Divers must no longer commit to TTL or manual before the dive, instead choosing their strobe power mode depending on the current situation. Other Key Features · Fine-tune strobe power via EV controller on back of YS-D1, YS-01 or YS-110a strobe · Battery level indicator · Blue LED light indicates TTL mode is active. Green LED light indicates manual strobe power · Auto power off and easy re-activation to save battery life Specs · Power: 2x AAA batteries (alkaline = 15hrs / Ni-MH = 12 hours) · Weight: 154g / 5.4oz · Housing Availability: MDX-70D, MDX-D7100 Installation The Sea & Sea Optical YS Converter is an optional (although highly recommended) accessory. If purchasing with a new housing, the team at Bluewater Photo can easily install it. For those adding it to their housing, installation is user-friendly, with two screws to attach the converter to the inside top of the housing. Conclusion So do you need the Optical YS Converter? Different divers will have differing opinions, but with the accuracy of the converter and Sea & Sea’s new Fiber Optic Cable II, you’ll be kicking yourself for missing a shot you could have saved with TTL. A great example is a light-colored school of fish that swam quickly by much closer than expected, blown out by your default “swim-around” strobe power settings. An optical TTL converter is certainly on my list to start saving for! signal to a light signal. Both TTL and manual strobe photography is possible using a Fiber-Optic Cable II. seaandsea.jp/products/digital_slr/accessory/008.html

I have just switched camera bodies from the Nikon D700 to the Nikon D810 and will not be needing my old Ikelite 6812.7 housing any longer. Ikelite headquarters recently re-set the four port screws for me so it fits like a brand new glove now. Housing comes with 2 Standard Zoom Clamps + Sleeves in original boxes! This model is now discontinued at the company, so the only way to obtain one is by finding a nice used one such as this!

Hi All, I am on the hunt for a mirrorless camera and underwater setup.

Does anyone have a used mirrorless camera with lenses, an UW housing, ports etc. that they are looking to sell? If not a full setup, I want to start piecing it together so I am interested in any mirrorless camera bodies, lenses, housings, etc. Thanks for all of your help! -Heather
