Hugyphot D100

Wondering if any one has used or is using one of these marvels ??

I had a look at one of the Leica versions on the week end and was really impressed with the simple style.

Apparantly the Hugy people have housings available for D70 , D100 , 300D with them to soon come for D2X and 20D - whos using them ???????????

Hi,

I have a friend who owns a Hugy D100 housing. It's compact and very ergonomic. He is very happy and now I've just bought a D70 Hugy housing. It is a wonderful housing, but I've just received it yesterday and I still haven't dive it.

Hugy housings are most popular in mainland Europe - so we tend not to hear about them that much on this English speaking forum!

For my money they are excellent housings.

I think that the only brand on the market older than Hugy was the Franke and Heidecke Rolleimarin... or maybe Ike predates the latter.

A few years ago in the Caribbean, the captain of a liveaboard was using a borrowed Hugy for the N90s/F90x. He told me that it was the best housing he ever used with this camera.

I never worked with one personnally but looking at the satisfaction level of Hugy fans I understand that it is a great product.

My personal note regarding the Hugys has always been the shutter release and handles... or absence of the latter on the right side of the unit.

Being a long time Aquatica user, I tend to favour straight handles and shutter release levers that are akin to what I am used to.

Alex is right, Hugy is way more popular in EC, has to do with distributorship I guess.

Hi,

A couple of month ago, digideep published a story about a housing being bitten by a tiger shark, somewhere around the Bahamas.... Remember?

The bitten housing was/is a Hugy and is still working very well....
