Fuji 6900

Ok, I have been reading through the forums and the way to go it seems is for a solid case, rather than the current boil in the bag I have. This then gives the ability to add strobe arms ect..

Problem #1 - the only housing I can find for the 6900 is made by Zillion in Japan.

Problem #2 - I talked with Zillion briefly and they will not ship the case out of Japan. this is due to the casing not being poly coarbonate and hence a possibilty of damage during shipping.

Problem #3 - the wal is an attachment to the lens on the body, so the casing would have to allow for extra length and width... Else I will be forced to use the incorporated lens only.

So what I would like to know, is there a company out there that makes a solid housing for my camera ??

Or am I doomed for buying the wrong camera for use u/w ?

You're only other choice is to have one manufactured for you. I don't know whereabouts in the world you reside, but if you are in the UK you can try Birchley Products

I have tried Birchley - nice chap...

However I got a quote for 400 UKP and that was without full functionality...

Also Im not really sure how a cyclindrical housing would work out.

I was actually in a similar position last year when i wanted to house my Fuji 4900 and ended up selling the camera and £5k later have the set up i now have. You may just have to bite the bullet and buy one of the Olympus range of digitals which have a good choice of housings.

I sold up my FUJIFILM S602 ZOOM when zillion replied there would not have any housing and joined Olympus family since then...

Except you are going digital SLR, underwater choice for Fuji is too limited
