It definately is a interesting concept, and while the housing is a bit expensive the ports aren't overpriced like Nauticam.
A few things I"m worried about though:
- Controlling Shutterspeed/F-stop/Iso through buttons seems a bit awkward.
- 3kg for a housing would be quite heavy to handle above water
- EVF can't be used. Also there's some space between the LCD display and housing glass, it will be harder to see what you're shooting.
- No test shots available, can't check the performance of a specific lens/port combo.

I can answer only from my experience.....
The f / s / iso ergonomic panel....is one of the edges here! really. It is hard to imagine how
After few times you get addicted to the simplicity of controlling 80% of the actual needs, in one hand. Including the trigger. It is amazing!
3kg is a little bit heavy out of water, yes .
But it is no more heavy than other metal housings brands.
In my case it is 4 pounds heavier than my previous housing
The no EVF magnification is a problem to some. Yes
I know that they are working on that. And it will be available soon
I use X3 LCD magnifier that warks great
About actual pics...they are oprating for more than 15 years, they have many users.
I was asking them about that before I bought mine. And contact few.
I am using the sony 90mm macro with a flat port.
And the 10-18mm with 6' dome
You can see my pics from the link at my signature
I only use this housing for few months, yes.
And it is really amazing
:-)
Another importent edge is the price.
It is definitely not cheap housing....but! My calculation showed me that it is much cheaper than nauticam.....with my 2 lens. Mostly becous of the ports etc.
And don't forget that you don't need to change housing when you want to upgrade your camera, or even change brand
For me it made a big difference
