eyu 27 Posted January 20, 2016 WOW!!!! It looks like it will have fiber optic ports. I wonder how this will be triggered. Has Subal come out with a fiber optic trigger, if so is it TTL?? Elmer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buddy 7 Posted January 20, 2016 how would they be able to ship a new housing end of february when the new camera is only to be released in March? In my experience it takes them several months after the< get their hands on a new camera...so expect this for the summer at earliest! And the fiber optic ports??? there is no pop up flash on the new D5, so how to trigger??? what a bull! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diverdon 1 Posted January 21, 2016 I believe that Housing makers get preproduction cameras to work with. Nikon has to know that available housings will stimulate sales. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adamhanlon 0 Posted January 21, 2016 Housing manufacturers do not get advanced previews of new camera models! The underwater market is so tiny compared to the camera market in general that we don't even warrant a thought. Most of the time, the manufacturers use CAD to use try and estimate how the housings will be and prepare prototypes so that once the cameras ship they can ship quickly thereafter. I guess that Subal may have one of their pros that did some pre production testing of the D5 and were able to get the crucial measurements off of it. Obviously, they have managed to get their hands on one of the very few Nikon prototype D5s! Predrag? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foto-diver 0 Posted January 24, 2016 All sounds good, but why can't Subal do something about their handles !? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex_Mustard 0 Posted February 26, 2016 Cool. I can't yet see what the solution is for that tricky ISO button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
