D90 photos taken in a D80 Ikelite

3 posts
  1. My D80 literally fell apart during a dive with buttons coming loose in the housing underwater and the screen quitting too. That night I ordered a new housing from Ikelite for my D90 but still had dives to do with no camera available. So... I found that if I slightly bent the right thumb actuator on the Ikelite I could shoot the D90 in manual mode with no problem! I could not access any menu items or the video portion but all I needed was the ablity to change Fstop and Sshutter so off I went! Anyway, these are some photos from yesterday with the D90 and a Tokina 10-17mmFE in an Ikelite D80 housing.

     

    This is my friend Toyo who sadly is moving from Okinawa to pursue a diving career as an Instructor in Australia in several weeks.

    The water is fairly murky as we have had high winds and a strong current surge from a late season typhoon just south or our island.
