D200 underwater...

Toxicdiver · 17th July 2007

Hi,
I would like to bring two (expensive) hobbies together...aka diving and photography.
So I have a D200 that want to learn how to dive...
What does it need ? Lens(es) ? 60micro ? Strobe/flash (1 or 2 ?) and most important it does not like water... so need a good casing.
Price is not really the issue here, safety of the equipement is (and good photos...).
Could you let me know where to buy and what to buy...
I have found the name of Oceanic Focus. Anyone else to recommend ? Who is the Cathay photo for underwater ?
Thanks
Thomas

PS: Lenses already in-house 17-35AFS 2.8; 50mm 1.4; 85mm 1.4 (MF); 35-70mm 2.8

you could opt for sea&sea housing if you can afford or even seacam, nexus

oceanic focus would be a good place to go, been happy with their after sales services
and the range of equipment that they carry and they can advise you more if you would drop by the shop.

underwater i think 60mm would be great for Macro and 12-24 for a wide angle

2 strobes would be lovely 4 would be even better

another option will be scubacam. Can do presssure testing on site . A fren's oly7070 or 8080 housing had a crack n managed to get it repaired n pressure tested there.

As stonefish35 has mentioned, here is the link to ScubaCam.

Does anybody know which shop in SG that carries Hugyfot?

Sea&sea out of stock for his D200 housings. According to andrew Sea&sea isn't producing any more of these as they don't have sufficient global demand. Can give him a call to doublecheck.

Eric Que · 8th August 2007

can the tokina 12-24 mm be use on sea & sea?

antacid · 10th August 2007

yup, can. my friend is using it in a S&S housing and dome.
