Underwater question for Nikon F80 and FE

[TomBob]

Hi there, i'm considering the Aquapac SLR case as i'm planning to shoot a documentary underwater some point in the future. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these, primarily with the Nikon F80/N80. Judging from what I've read on the Aquapac website, size wise i'm pretty much on the limit (judging by similar sized dSLRs listed)

I also have a Nikon FE, if anyone has tried the pack with this also let me know.

the link to the kit in question is http://www.aquapac.net/ukstore/waterproof-slr-case-br-455-1411-0.html


Cheers

80 Sterling Pounds? Kinda pricey!

15 feet is not much at all, I wouldn't trust that thing with my Nikon!
If I were you, I'll look for a cheap Nikonos.

I've had good luck with Sea&Sea Nikon housings. They are kinda expensive though.

Go for a Nikonos as they are made for that sort of thing, don't forget to lube the o-rings with silicon grease and ..... hold the camera just below the surface and look for bubbles!

thanks everyone, i didnt know of the nikonos and have now done a bit of reserch, will try get a nikonos V if i can, and Chris, I've looked at sea and sea, and well out of my price range, it also donesnt look like they do one to fit the f80 and the only fuji slr ones i found are the s5, but thanks all the same
