Hi everyone,

 

I Have a H38 Paterson Gates water housing for a hasselblad 903swc/swc and did know if anyone else has one? and know what strobes are best for it?

 

cheers

The Hassleblad will have only a basic X-sync I'm assuming through a PC terminal contact, so you'll need a flash you can trigger via an electrical sync cable .   You would need to hunt around perhaps to find a bulkhead cable  to connect up the camera.

Once you have that any strobe should be fine as long as you can connect with an electrical sync cable .  Some of the electric sync to optical triggers will likely also work, you would just need the right cable to connect up properly.

An INON Z330, one of the retras, an Ikelite - but they are quite large though are all possibilities.  I'd suggest talking to one of the UW photo shops to find the right cables to connect.  You are connecting to a camera that triggers using x-sync.
