D70 housing with manual AF and zoom?

  1. D70 housing with manual AF and zoom?

    Looking for a D70 housing who is capable to manual focus and zooming. Most housings you must make a choice or MF gear or zoom gear does this exist?

    Call Ryan from Underwater Camera Pros..one of the sponsors here. I just bought new Nexus d70 housing and Ryan was giving me the choice of manual or AF..

  3. It probably depends on the specific lens too.

     

    I've got a custom ikelite port, that uses the knob out on the port, like for the 105 macro lens. But this has a dome out on the end, and allows me to use the 24-120 zoom, and does both zoom and manual focus.

  4. I would think this depends more on the lens in question than the housing... for instance, if you are shooting a dome, there is no way to put a zoom control on the front ring and have control (without covering the focus ring) as the only control available is in the housing, not on the port.

     

    If you are shooting a flat port, the port can have (Aquatica for example) a focus control and the housing control is used for zoom.

     

    As far as I know, most of the housings have this arrangement. If you want manual focus with a dome, you must give up zoom control.

     

    btw, calling Ryan is an excellent suggestion.
