Subal Film Housing + Ikelite + Ultralight

5 posts
  1. I took many fine (and many more not fine) pictures with my Subal/Ikelite/Ultralight setup. It's time to clear the closet.

     

    The Subal housing for Nikon 8008 has the reciept stuffed in it from Marine Camera Distributor's overhaul, but who wants a film housing these days?

     

    You can take a new digital camera/housing, though, and add these accessories for minimal price, and have a great kit:

     

     

    Ikelite 150

    Ikelite Ai

    Sonic Research SR 60

     

    All strobes are rechargeable (the 150 comes with a battery pack also) and have only minor scuffs on the plastic bits. The SR60 is a bit more scuffed because I mounted it with a hose clamp to the brackets.

     

    The two Ikelite strobes come with TTL cords and the kit has one dual TTL cord. I ran the SR60 as a slave strobe.

     

    Ultralight Swivel Mounting Bracket and arms 6" x2, 8" x2, 12" x1, with six double and one triple clamp, balls for mounting on the bracket and strobes.

     

    The Subal is in perfect condition, as is the SWB and FP - 84 dome and flat ports. There is an extension ring, also, and four aperature/focus gears. I used 35-70 zoom and a 105 micro lenses behind these ports.

     

    US$990 takes the whole kit, which, of course, would be my preference.

    Subal ports and extension ring: $550

    Ikelite Strobes, TTL Cords and Ultralight Arms: $525

    You pay shipping. I'm in Seattle. PayPal preferred.

  2. Which subal extension ring do you have? I'm looking for a EXR60

  3. Which subal extension ring do you have? I'm looking for a EXR60

     

    My extension ring has absolutely no identifying marks on it, except the manufacturer's logo.

     

    The inner diameter of the ring is 85mm and the 'front to back' is 30mm. Hope this helps!

  4. Ultralight Gear has been sold.

     

    Still Available: Subal Miniflex Housing for Nikon 8008, includes the camera body!

     

    You may be more interested in the Dome Port, the Extension Ring, and the Flat port that might fit Subal housings for Digital. These do not have identifying marks but if you send mail I will send pictures and answer other dimension questions. $550 for both ports and extension ring.

     

    ALso available are the three strobes: Ikelite 150, Ai, and Sonic Research 60 slave strobe.

  5. Do you still have the Subal ports? Are they the bayonet mount type?
