onokai 8 Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) Anyone had a recent buying direct experience with Subal? I need a zoom gear for a Nikon AF 24-85mm f2.8-f4 D lens for my ND 800 housing This is an odd gear but they show it on their site-I'm located in the US. I know the US distributors cannot get stuff from Subal very easy or at all and I'm wondering if they are shipping direct anywhere these days?

TimG 62 Posted July 31, 2018 I bought a ND500 housing, EXRs and zoom rings from them towards the end of last year. No problems at all. I did however email them just over a week ago about another EXR and zoom ring but have had no response. Maybe holiday time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eyu 27 Posted July 31, 2018 Reef Photo configured a zoom gear for my AF 24-85mm f 2.8-4. But I found the lens to lack some sharpness on the D800E Elmer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onokai 8 Posted August 1, 2018 Reef Photo configured a zoom gear for my AF 24-85mm f 2.8-4. But I found the lens to lack some sharpness on the D800E Elmer Were you using it in macro mode or a wide angle non macro mode-I wanted to use the macro mode with small dome.

eyu 27 Posted August 1, 2018 Were you using it in macro mode or a wide angle non macro mode-I wanted to use the macro mode with small dome. I tried both, but went to macro mode with a flat port. Elmer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
okuma 64 Posted August 1, 2018 I,ve purchased 3 sets of Subal housings , 6 units, from Reef and have been 100% satisfied. For US residents, Florida is closer than Austria! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kraken de Mabini 128 Posted August 2, 2018 I have purchased parts directly from Subal, also from ReefPhoto and from Backscatter, all performed well. If the US stores have the parts, their reply is much faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
