Ikelite Sony f-828 Housing any others

Hello everyone, Iam new to this sight so be polite.I have had my Sony f828 for over a year now .I am getting back into diving and would like to get a housing for my camera. I have done some search for them and all I have come up with is the Ikelite. I also seen another on this forum from last year that was metal contructed, did any thing come about that housing? As far as strobes go I am new to this but why can't the hotshoe be used with a sync cord to power the strobe? May be a fullish question . Might it be less with another camera and housing? How are the UW pictures with the f828, 8MG?Raw? Any answers would help.

Thanks

Tim

I haven't found any other housings for it. I wish there was some other options. It seems like they would have taken advantage of the pivot ability of the body for a better angle to be shooting position. I too would like to see some examples of some 828 UW picutres.

This camera wasn't widely supported by underwater companies because of the difficulty of using the "exotic" long zoom lens with add-on adapters.

Cheers

James
