Olympus C-8080 upgrade

3 posts
  1. I have an Olympus C-8080 in an Ikelite housing, with 2 DS-125 strobes and ULCS arms.

     

    I am disappointed with the shutter lag and want to upgrade to an SLR. I have Canon 35mm film cameras and lenses so an upgrade to a Canon D20 or ds1 mark ii seems natural. I have lots of choices for the d20, what are my housing choices for the ds1? and can my ds-125 strobes be used with either system?

  2. Available housing for the DS1 you can see at digideep.

    The strobes & arms can be used with any DSLR in the market (at list as I know)

  3. Re "can my ds-125 strobes be used with either system?"

     

    If you get the Ikelite housing for the 20D you can use your DS 125s in TTL mode. And the housing also supports manual control of the strobes from the housing.
