have2fish 0 Posted October 26, 2004 I have the opportunity to buy a Nikon Coolpix 5000, Light and Motion Tetra 5000, 2 Sea &Sea YS-90 strobes with Ultralight arms, 2 wetlink sync cords, Tetra focus light, Tetra ultra wide (weitwinkel) and macro wetmate lens..... and a few more bells and whistles for $3500. The system was used about 8 times and looks perfect. How much is this system worth new.... used? Is this a good deal? I have limited UV experience, I have a oly 5060 & pt-20 and have had lots of fun with it in Tahiti this year, looking forward to using it more and more. Here are some photos from our trip: http://ImageEvent.com/have2fish/tahiti2004...suwphotostahiti Thanks Marco Farrell http://www.whiteseabass.com have2fish(at)yahoo.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

subh2o 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Hi, Probably too late but I've just posted an ad for a Aquatica 5000 housing in the ADS section. With a CP-5000 selling on eBay for $350, this would make a great system. Also posted an ad for a Ike MS strobe.

martys 0 Posted February 19, 2005 there's one full kit up there for $2000 that didn't sell. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...3872671112&rd=1 you can probably contact the guy and get a decent price on it. I have one too I want to sell and am pretty discouraged at how little they're selling for. :-( Marty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
subh2o 0 Posted February 23, 2005 Yes, that's digital photography for you! What is sad is that people considering “modern” 5MP cameras in plastic housings don’t realize that the CP-5000 in an aluminium housing is actually a very good choice for anyone doing any deep diving. Mine was used in diving conditions where I would not have dared to take a plastic housing. A CP-5000 selling for $300 on eBay and a used Tetra or Aquatica housing makes a great 300ft+ system for very little money. Small size, full Nikon strobe compatibility and available wide angle. Hard to beat! Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
