I am sittin outside so I can't see my screen to well - but the i think it looks pretty good, and should be reasonably priced. I have been interested in seeing when more polycarbonate housings (similar to the ones for digi-compacts) would appear for DSLRS.

I am most familiar with the PT range for Olympus. I think that these housings are pretty impressive and I have been keen to see a DSLR version.

Its been out for ages ... just their website is translated or not at all very badly from japanese.

Someone must be a reseller for these, If i have downloaded the order formsa .. but they are in Japanese, I have seen all the pics, but I have no idea if all the functions work, what ports it take etc etc.

They also make some great looking housings for the D1 mk2 and D1s

and looks like they are going to make one for the d70 too.

I want a housing for my D60

Just an FYI, the one for the MkII is about $3500, which aint cheap. I'd hope the D60 housing was MUCH cheaper...

Hi Giles,

I faced the same problem, and being a webdesigner, I offered them a website (they really need an english one). This has been about four months ago, and they did not even react, although I know they viewed the site I produced for them. They don´t seem to be interested to explore english speaking markets.

If somebody wants to see the site or is interested: www.amridesign.com/zillion. The Links Photo - Canon - EOS 1d/s work.

Nice work Nataq, suprised they didn't show any interest.

I found out some more info from their dealer.

It's not all that chea considering some major draw backs of the housing.

If you want a strobe electonic connector put in it add's to the cost and they recommend Inon and make the electronics special for that anopther couple hundred bucks in there.

It has Inon Port Mounts ... and i know nothig about Inon Ports ? anyone care to tell me if that is good or bad ?

After all that ... I think at the price I would rather get a fully set up subal ..although the acrylic does look cool.

I think I am back to my second hand sea and sea option .. doubt i'll find any second hand subals
