Aquatica Complete Housing Kit for Canon 5D Mark III Due to a lack of use, I've decided to sell my complete UW Housing kit. Kit centers around the Aquatica A5D-III housing for the Canon 5D III, dual Ikelite DS-125 strobes, and Stix buoyancy arm system. Camera and lenses not included, but could be negotiated separately. The housing includes the acclaimed 180° Aqua View finder. Everything with the housing is fully functional and operational in great condition. There are some very minor cleaning scratches on the LCD window which are not visible underwater. The ports include the 9.25 inch Aquatica Mega Dome for sharp corners and the ability to take over/unders, a 4" dome port for wide-angle macro, and a flat macro port that allows you to choose manual or automatic focusing. I shot this system with the Canon 100mm f/2.8 EF USM macro lens, the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM lens, and Sigma 15mm f/2.8 EX DG diagonal fisheye lens. All the zoom/focus gears and port extensions necessary to shoot these lenses are included, as is the Sea & Sea M77 internal correction lens which the lens corrects image aberration and distortion when attached to a wide-angle zoom lens. More information about the system and lens compatibility can be found here: AD5-MkIII instructions A5D-MkIII Lens Chart I recently tested the strobes' capacity and each delivered over 260 full-strength flashes on a single charge. The spare battery came in at over 230 flashes. The Stix buoyancy strobe arm set does an excellent job of achieving neutral buoyancy making the rig a joy to handle underwater. Lots of spares (o-rings, sync cords, housing hinges, etc.) and owners manuals are included. I strongly prefer to sell this kit as a single package. Priced to sell at $3,450. Please message me if interested.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping some of you might be able to help me out. I recently upgraded to a 5D mkiii Nauticam system. I'm shooting with the Canon EF 17-40 1:4 L USM Lens, 50mm extension ring, and a Nauticam N120 8.5" acrylic dome port, as is the suggested setup, but every image has severe vignetting, regardless of the focal length. At first I thought it might just be because I was shooting primarily at the wide end, but after experimenting I realised that it doesnt matter. The wierd thing is that when I first used it i was shooting split shots in mangroves and there was no issues. But while diving and snorkelling, all images have vignetting. This is the first time I have used a rectilinear lens underwater, having only ever used the Tokina 10-17mm previously, so I'm pretty confused. Is it just the lens? Could it be my Autofocus settings? Could it be that the second hand dome has been polished too much so that now it has thicker edges thus creating the blur? I'm really at a loss here, and after investing so much money to upgrade, I'm really disappointed. So I would really appreciate some feedback guys!!! Thanks in advance.

For sale, very good condition Aquatica 5D mark III housing and Aquaview viewfinder. Housing is approximately 3 years old and has cosmetic exterior scratches and wear marks, but otherwise in excellent condition (the coating that Aquatica uses is very durable and it has held up very well). Has dual Nikonos sync bulkheads and internal moisture alarm, no ports included. Also has the optional ISO lever installed, two Ultralight balls on top of the handles, and factory-installed “deep spring kit”. Included is the “stock” viewfinder, as well as the Aqua View 180-degree finder. Finder has a few more scratches than housing, and a couple of very small scratches/nicks around the periphery of the rear lens. The Aqua View finder is really excellent—(once you use one you won’t want to go back the stock viewfinder.) It is my understanding that Aquatica will offer an upgrade for this housing to accommodate the new Canon 5D mark IV, but I have no confirmation of this. Housing and Aqua View finder, original manuals and T-handle wrench: $2200 Continental US only
