Hi Ken
I have been using Ikelite housings for around 8 years now.
They are much cheaper than Nauticam/subal/seacam but still very reliable and functional. Out of the box the ergonomics are not good but they are easily customizable
The reason I like Ikelite is I can replace all orings myself (full service) without sending it to the dealer and the dealer will sell me pretty much what ever I ask for in regards to the housing. jean from Ikelite always replies to emails and trys to always offer a good solution.
To make my housing really shine I added a Nauticam 45 degree viewfinder, vacuum valve, XIT 404 control knobs, aquatica surveyor and a ULCS TR-SLBD tray.
Check out David Fleetham, Ken Keifer and Grant Thomas, they all use Ikelite gear.
Thanks for your reply Chris. I'll check out the add-ons you mentioned. I've found the Ikelite people to be be very responsive and helpful as well. As I just got certified for SCUBA I probably won't be doing much/ANY photography until I get my buoyancy down pat, which hopefully won't take too long. But as photography is a big part of why i got certified i want to get a pretty good idea on uw gear now. Thanks again
