Leaking Nimar

Hello

I've bought a used, and not much used housing for my Canon 50D.

Unfortunately it's leaking! After replacing a lot of buttons, testing with toiletpaper I've finelly found the leak!

But it's a small crack in the plastic!

Could the housing get repaired? And how could it be done/who does it?

I don't think you have any chance.

Maybe for surface work you may be able to fix it with some silicone glue, depending on exactly where the crack is, but I wouldn't feel confident.

For anything at depth, I am pretty shire there is nothing you can do because of the increasing pressure on the walls of the housing.

Anyway, its always worth a try to contact Nimar and ask them.

And if the housing was sold to you leaking I would certainly complaint...

Good luck

Completely off topic but maybe it interests you... i am selling my Ikelite for canon 40D/50D

I have contacted the dealer, but i don't have much hope that Nimar would fix it.

I'm thinking of melting the plastic with a soldering bolt, and then maybe som epoxy after.

What's the price for your Ikelite?

I didn't think much about it because only now decided to sell... but if Imake everything at less then half price we get:

Housing

500£

8" Dome

200£

port for 60mm macro

50£

port for 100 macro with manual focus

100£

Flash DS 125

400£ 450£ with ball arm and charger (x2 - 900£)

Dual sync cord (2 strobes)

70£

sync cord

40£

sync cord Ike to sea&sea/Inon (no auto ttl)

40£

Miscellaneous spares and o-rings

20£

That makes a total of 1920£

So I sell the lot for 1700£, the buyer pays pay pall fees and I pay the postage

Sounds like a great setup, but a little bit expencive for a student like me at the moment. And I needs to wait untill I get an answer from the dealer.

oosantoo: Do you have the "print/liveview" button on your housing?

Hi

Yes it does. And the electronics have also been updated so they offer full automatic t/l both with canon 40D and canon 50D
