Trying film

2 posts
  1. I did UW-Shooting until now only Digital. But now i have the possibility to get a cheap housing for my old trusted Eos500 (my first SLR ever) and I think it would be fun to ban the results of my digital improved learnin curve on film. So here are my questions.:

     

    What would be a good price for a Sea & Sea CX-600 including double Handle and Domeport? (new, was never in the water but not from an official dealer)

     

    Should I bring the Housing in for a check to a Dealer or exchange O-Rings because the Housing comes out of a storage liquidation or just take it underwater w/o a camera in it for a check dive?

     

    Does it make sense to use an Ikelite Ds125 with a film camera?

     

    Will my Ikelite arm fit into the sea & sea handle?

     

    Does it make sense to shoot WA withonly one strobe (the DX125)?

     

    Thanks in advance..

     

    Bye

  2. Some answers to your questions and recommendations:

     

    1. CX500 - $500 - $700 inc ports.

    2. If it has never been in the water the User O rings should not be fitted already.

    3. Control O rings should be checked out.

    4. Strobe compatibilty will depend on bulkhead wiring.

    5. The arm will fit if you have an adapter

    6. I only use 1 strobe with a 12mm - Depends how much kit you like carrying for the sake of it.
