  1. Bubble in 5503.55 Lens Port

    Howdy all,

     

    I got my hands on my ikelite rig for my d70 a couple of days ago, and whilst I havent had it in the water yet, I have spent a lot of time with it admiring its beauty and engineering.

     

    I was looking more closely at my lens port, and noticed a bubble like mark on the inside of the lens port, near the centre. It's probably 2mm by 4mm, and looks like a bubble during the manufacturing that popped (just saying what it looks like, not sure if this is even technically possible).

     

    Anyway, I'm not really sure what I should do. I was going to take it for a dive on friday night to visit my leafy seadragon friends, so I can see if it shows up in the photos there. I can also send it back with my parents to the US at NYE to return to BHphoto&video, or should I get them to send it to Ikelite.

     

    Not having used a DSLR housing and post system before, is this common and not an issue? Has anyone else seen this sort of thing before?

     

    Anyway, i'll post a couple of pictures so you can see what im talking about

     

    Regards.

  2. I would notify Ikelite direct. They will probably send you a new port ASAP.
