hello guys,

i am interested in getting a good housing for my Nikkon D100.

i would like to have one that would go beyond 100m deep. does anyone have any suggestions? i have found out that this was quite hard, especially if you want to have a ttl connection on.

I would accept some trade off, like second hand housings, provided there is some sort of warrantee on them.

Thanks in Advance for those who help.

Just returned from the Photokina in Cologne on Sat night.
The lone housing manufacturer that exhibited was BS Kinetics, a small German company.
First time I saw one of their housings, looked rather snazzy made from carbon fiber composits. Also made the housing rather light weight, about half of what alu weights. Not nad for travel with ever tightning weight restrictions.

Anyway, the stock housings are made for 80 meters, but they have made thicker housings up to a 160 m rating.

Past that you'll have trouble finding domes that can take the pressure safely from what I understood.

The housing I looked at was for the new Sony Alpha 100 SLR, but the company does housings for most of the popular SLRs and Videocameras. They'll also do custom jobs if necessary.

The man behind the company is Bodo Sutterer, hence the somewhat unfortunate initials (at least in English

) in the company's name.
