The difference between the Ewa marine flexible housing and the diveross solid housing is quite significant. Do you really can go down to 80m with the Ewa marine?? Not that I want, I am a BSAC diver and am very happy around 20 - 30m.
Same with me, I don't really thrust the plastic bags of Ewa Marine but well they must work or else they would have been long bust.The difference between the Ewa marine flexible housing and the diveross solid housing is quite significant.

Let us know if you get one and what your experience are.

DAL is the lightweight version and Pentax has excluded some things to made it lighter and cheaper.
- it doesn't come with a hood
- Plastic lens mount instead of metal
- no quick-shift (focusing "clutch" that enables manual focus while the camera/lens is in auto focus)

I really like them all
For the last two I like number II because the... "pier" is in the centre enforcing the sense of depth the later one has that less.

Sorry to bring back live to this thread.
I've redone this shot with today's technology and experience, is it better and do you maybe have any tips to improve it?

But it was also the case when the exchange rate was 1.6!!! And man I felt the perfect milking cow back then!
Anyway, we already are one of the most taxed european country around, so I'm quite used to it by now...
Oh yes I know what you mean wit the exchange rate, it wasn't right. Anvh wrote:
People say the same here but always forget to add the TAX with the USA prices
Well, it's true that nowadays with the current 1.27 exchange rate it's less painful and is nearly the price + tax, so that's ok.People say the same here but always forget to add the TAX with the USA prices
But it was also the case when the exchange rate was 1.6!!! And man I felt the perfect milking cow back then!
Anyway, we already are one of the most taxed european country around, so I'm quite used to it by now...
France is on 19.6% with 5.5% or 2.1%
Netherlands 19% but our reduced rate is 6% so in the end it's roughly the same.
England still has it good for now 17.5% with 5% or 0% but the 17.5% will be 20% next year so better buy camera gear this year
Sweden has a lot of VAT btw, 25% with 12% or 6% but they have a different system I believe on how that money is spend.

The most important thing when taking photographs underwater is to get as little water between you and the subject. That means as short a focal length lens as you can get your hands on.
Since the DA16-45 is the widest and best quality lens that Dan has it's probably the most suited one and since you can zoom prior before putting it in the housing you've a range of focal lengths covered with one lens.The most important thing when taking photographs underwater is to get as little water between you and the subject. That means as short a focal length lens as you can get your hands on.
This way Dan can experiment which focal length is the best and he doesn't need to leave camera gear at the surface unattended.

What an emotion, that three people need to tell me that... don't you like me *snif*
ChrisA was considering a D300S for aviation photography
I asked if maybe 4/3th system might not be better?
Because the AF from the Olympus seems to be pretty good and the extra crop factor might be useful.
But well you can all read that so no idea why I said that again and you can read what Oggy and I said after that.
Oggy basically said Olympus are no good because no one use them and I said that doesn't proof anything.
I've no idea how that connects to Oggy buying a Canon, could you please tell me?
