Wanted: Aquatica or Hugyfot Housing for D200

As some of you may know, I am planning on upgrading my housing and SLR from a Fuji S2 to a D200. If I can get an Aquatica it means I can re-use the dome port.

If I go the Hugyfot way, I can't.

As I will be upgrading, my rig is going to be going over the next months too.

Outfit will consist of

Aquatica S2 Housing with twin Nikonos strobe connectors and custom quick release hotshoe mount
8" dome port (depends on whether I get an Aquatica D200)
8" dome port shade and neoprene cover
Port extender for use with Nikon 12-24 (depends on whether I get an Aquatica D200)
2 x Fuji S2 SLR

I will be looking in the region of £1400 for this setup with port, or £1050 without.

If you are interested in upgrading to an SLR in the next 6 months or so, drop me a line and I will see what we can do.

Son, you're going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming aircrew. You can't do both.

The aircraft limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular aircraft. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no limits.

My credit card is now £1500 heavier and my new toy arrives on Monday after a quick call to Cameras Underwater.

The Aquatica & S2s will be going up for £1400 on a variety of sites once I have some pictures of the rig.

Sweet!!! Lovely new toys!!

If you need any help with taking pics Gloc.... erm..... I'm probably not the person to ask!

(But if I ever get a housing for the D80 I might be looking for some tips )

Yep, you are first on the list for the Al80 when they come up.

Re: the Hugyfot, yellowduke pointed me @ Cameras Underwater for this - Hugyfot D200 housing (for Nikon D200) - complete housing system. Includes housing, extension ring, fisheye port, flat port, zoom gears for 12-24mm & 60mm macro.



I need to get a zoom ring for my Sigma 10-20 and a Nikon D200 but there are loads on eBay at the moment

The Aquatica will be a complete setup, more details to come.

Regards
