I picked this one up used about 5 or 6 years ago (maybe more) and never used
it. I thought I was moving close to the ocean and ended up in Utah. Needless
to say, it's a desert here, so I direct my camera in a different direction.
To be honest, I'm not sure of the functionality of the housing. When I first
bought it, I managed to put it together with a body and lens and get all the
buttons, focusing, etc. to work out of the water. I never tried it underwater.
The plate on the back has a crack in it, and the front lens housing is
slightly fogged around the edges. However, I have a wide angle dome housing
that is in great condition, and viewfinder to go with it. The kit also
includes some instructions, a couple ring-like things to attach to various
lenses and an assortment of other various things.
I can't remember how much I paid for it or what it's worth...
...so how about $50.00. Email me if you have any interest b/c I'll entertain
offers.
Also, FWIW, I contacted Ikelite when I first bought it. I talked to someone
there that said they could probably get it in working condition. They
suggested I send a body and lens to them with the housing, and they would
scrounge for leftover parts, etc. Of course, that was 5 or 6 years ago.
Finally, I'll be happy to send pics upon request.
