I live in Madrid, Spain and I bought years ago a sea&sea housing for my Canon 5D (the classic one), flashes and ports...
But now I have known that sea&sea doesn't make housings for my 5D Mark II anymore.
My question is: Is there any housing for a 5D Mark II (of any other brand) which I could use with my sea&sea ports and my sea&sea flashes?...
The question I am asking is because is a very really hard task to find a second hand sea&sea housing for my 5D Mark II in Spain...
thanks
Are you sure that you cant get hold of a S & S housing. Have you tried Japan.?

Hi Marcello
I know you can use Aquatica housings with Sea & Sea ports via an adapter (made by Aquatica). They also still supply the 5D2 housing. See this link: http://www.camerasunderwater.co.uk/aquatica-ports.
Don't know whether you have Aquatica agents in Spain but I have alaways found Cameras Underwater to be reliable and helpful
I'd check as there may be an issue with using a adapter with any FF camera and the 15mm FE lens. I had significant vignetting even with the 1.25x 1D series when using a adapter.
If you must have S&S ports, then check 2nd hand on WP and Ebay. I see them popping up ever so often. Another way is to modify your housing to work with the 5D2. A friend of mine did that and while there are limitations with the LCD screen, it may be worth your while. You'll have to search in the archives for the thread.
