Re: Dslr

Great info!

Have you tried the Nikon 10.5mm lens? I messed up before and called it an 11.5, but meant 10.5mm. That is the one I was thinking about for the Nikon. I have no idea what a Canon equivalent is. I'll take a look at the Tokina's.

When you put an Ikelite system together do you just add in the dome port, or do you need to add in an adapter ring as well? I'm just trying to ball park the pricing on it. Which dome port do you use with your lens?

I used to own an Olympus 5050 in a PTO-15 housing with the INON wide angle lens and dome port. it took some pretty good pictures but wasn't what I would call small. I remember that Lambis told me his D70 system, in a metal housing, was similar in size- or at least felt that way underwater. the big downside to that old system was the 10 second PER shot it took to take pictures in RAW mode. I'd gladly give up the video functions to improve the still photo quality at higher speeds.

thanks again,

Jon
