Underwater housing and equipment for 20D

Hi 1st of all Merry Christmas and Happy new 2005 to all you from Croatia Many nice dives and much more nice photos to share with all us.

And now back to work:

As I'm just started to make my underwater equipment for photography I don't wanna make error and buy something i will need to replaced in some quick time.

I curently have this equipment:

Canon 20D

17-40 mm f4.0 L

70-200 mm f2,8 L

50mm f1.8

Sigma 24mm f1.8 macro

2 x Canon Speedlite 550EX

And of underwater photo equipment i have 1 very old Sealife film camera, so nothing worth of talking about.

At begining i want to use this 17-40mm f4,0L lens until i get some money to buy 10-22mm EF-S IS lens and as port for both lens is the same i will not have problem to switching them. Probably in some time i will buy 1 macro lens and 24-70mm f2.8 L (i think curently Ikelite don't have port for that lens).

I need strobes and everything else. So if you can sugest me what to buy i will be very happy

I guess you were the one who sent me the email, hope you don't mind me just posting my reply here -

I just returned from a trip to the Turks & Caicos where I shot the 20D + Ikelite setup for 5 days. I'm in the midst of writing up an extensive trip/gear report, but my initial impression is that the Canon 20D is a great camera to shoot underwater. Very fast AF and clearing of RAW images from the buffer. The Ikelite housing was also very simple to both assemble and use. eTTL2 worked extremely well - it seems that Ikelite's EE's are doing a good job.

I'll have the full gallery and trip/gear report up within a few days...until then, here's a teaser image - http://www.wetpixel.com/modules.php?op=mod...c&p=44407#44407
