Not in the UK Stefan, although it may be wise to ask permission for commercial use. Just think of all those wonderful candid photos that are so famous - the sailor kissing the girl, the Vietnamese girl, the youngster with the bottle of wine, the youngster in the water fountain from a fire hydrant....the list is long.
With commercial use I mean for commercials, promoting a company, product or statement, art and news is something different indeed.

Also, if you really want a solid housing, then this is the most cost effective option; Diveross.

It's not that easy to find it for sale though, and there aren't many (any) reviews for it yet.
That one should take the 16-45.
The 16-45 is 92mm and doesn't seem to extend more than half the length.
The low standard port of the DRP200 is 158 mm and the tall one 178 mm so no problem for the 16-45 I think.

The price is around the £705 so that's quite acceptable, thank you for showing us that link geclinke

Doesn't the 16-45 extend too much at the wide end?
Some housing can take the length without a problem, just the problem of finding such a housing.

Nass read this again.

Quote:
A spokesperson for South Lanarkshire Council said: “If a photographer takes a photograph of an individual that is the individual’s personal information and they must give consent to its use.
In principle you are allowed to photographer individual's it's just that you can't use the image in certain ways if no consent or agreement is giving/make for like commercial use for example.
Individual's that are explicit or in a harmful way in the photo can also demand the photo to be removed from public but still you're allowed to have the photo.

This at least how the Dutch law work and as far as I know it's true for most european countries.

I just played around and what you guys mentioned is making more and more sense. One thing though, I have changed the AWB for Shade - Shooting indoors with minimal natural light. I currently have a flashgun attached to the camera, is there a need to increase the iso? I am currently shooting using 200, will this about okay or I need to shoot at 400? Thanks.
White Balance has nothing to do with the light intensity but the colours, if you're using the flash then I would leave the White Balance on Auto since the flash is around daylight colour and the AWB handles that very well.

For the flash use ISO200 if the flash needs to work too hard simply increase the ISO.

The OP was about Scotland.
Ah okay, hopefully it doesn't spread to the rest of Europe

Are you saying I should set the camera to Manual mode (and not the flash) right?
Yes the Flash to P-TTL and the camera to Manual.

If you've an idea what you're doing than this will give you quite a lot of control and insight what's going on and the P-TTL would make sure your subject is correctly expose automatically.

If you want to use Av, Tv or any other auto mode on the camera I would suggest using a fixed ISO or else the camera will change that and the shots can than vary quite a bit. An ISO of 200 is a good starting point but if the flash needs to work too hard you can go to 400 or higher.

The 16-45 would be fine that way you've a normal lens and a wide angle in one so you don't need to carry more lenses.
Or use the WR, if the housing does leak you've at least some extra protection, maybe enough to hold out till you're at the surface again.

As for housings, I've looked into them but they are quite expensive so didn't do it.
Therefore can't recommend you one.

This is a case for the K20D but the manufacture site is under construction so only have this for you link

It is tempting - I don't do much macro, but sometimes on my travels there is a bug or flower ... that I would really like to get close to!
It's also very good as a normal lens because it's quite light and handles well, I've used it quite a lot for portrait for example.
