well i got a new 1ds housing this week. just got here any helpful hints on this very nice new toy i got. im shooting with one ik 125 strobe prob get another one or something else not sure on that yet have to make up my mind before oct when i got to bonaire for a couple weeks.
Seacam with ports for 50mm and 100mm macro and just the pro veiw finder.
maybe get a super dome later for my 17-40 not sure i love macro
any hints and help tricks to trade would be great.
Thanks in advance and look forward to chating it up on here in the future
FYI i havent even read the packet liz from SFP yet that due to so busy with work.
Thanks Aaron
Hi Aaron and welcome to Wetpixel.
I owned that housing for a while but I made a "lateral move" to the 5D for its smaller size.
I'd encourage you to check out my article here about how to make a buoyancy collar for your macro port. You can make the housing neutral underwater.
I used the Superdome exclusively and was very pleased. It's $$$ but it's worth is as it can be used w/ every lens.
I used Ikelite 200's for WA and Inon Z220's (replaced by 240 now) for macro.
Cheers
James
Hi Aaron, and welcome!
I agree with James (I find myself doing that a lot!) -- when you decide to start shooting WA with your 17-40, get the Superdome. It will also come in handy if/when you decide to get a 15mm fisheye lens, etc.
Meanwhile, enjoy shooting the 50mm and 100mm - both great lenses!
