Simply the best UW housings in the world - nothing compares to Ikelite for
digital housings.





Also CR-PRO filter for the housing (can be removed or fitted underwater) .
this greatly increase colour balance (removes the blue) in UW photographs .

The Ikelite housing can also take the full range of Ikelite strobes,
retaining full TTL exposure control of the Olympus .. and avoiding the drain
on battery if internal flash used. (sorry if all this is already known to
you.)



Camera & Housing under warranty used on 1 dive trip only.




As I mentioned, used on 1 dive trip only ... it is a superb camera, amazing
lens, and top of the Prosumer range.
I will Include a quality carry case, and also include the spare O ring &
silicon grease, and silica gel sachets for the housing.
I have a couple of 1GB WA cards if you are interested, which you can have at
the deal price I got them for. (imported from Philippines)
The WA cards have special circuitry to transfer files quicker with C-8080.

This is worthwhile if shooting in RAW mode as file size is huge and write to
card takes a while.
