Patima has announced their G10 housing:

It would appear that it is similar to their G9 housing in that is has two ports and has 67mm threads.

 

 

So along with this housing, 10Bar's

They are very good but expensive for me.

So this is my G10 housing:

OK I'm not that up on the differences between the housings, so can someone help me ?

 

Do either of the aluminum housings allow true ttl or are they both triggered by fiberoptic cable?

I thought the ikelite was not triggered by a fiberoptic cable, but triggered electrically?

All three allow fiber optics which with at least Inon allows true ttl. I am not familiar enough Sea&Sea. The former two allows electronic firing. I do not know if there has been electronic circuitry developed for electronic tttl.

hanachan,

 

I'm currently researching housing for G10s. Just wondering, is that a macro lens? Who is the manufacturer, and of course, are you happy with the results?

 

thanks,

hart

Good to see there's a lot of options out there. If I were looking into getting one though, I'd be paying close attention to which offers attachment wide angle lenses. I know Ikelite haven't been able to figure this out yet.

I handled the Patima housing yesterday. It's quite a beast and it allows full use of all the buttons, including the jog dial. Strobe has to be external though.

This is a close up lens INON UCL-330. This enables your camera to approach the object about 30cm. Recent modification of G10 housing was reported at the DIY section of this forum.
