Ikelite #6812.7 underwater housing for Nikon D700 (10-10-2008)

Ikelite have announced a full-featured yet affordable underwater housing for the Nikon D700 Digital SLR camera.

The heavy duty thick wall Ikelite #6812.7 underwater housing is molded of corrosion free clear polycarbonate, features full capabilities, and operates safely to 60 meters.

The size and weight provides only slightly negative buoyancy in salt water depending on choice of lens port. Camera installation is quick and simple. The dependable controls are conveniently placed at your fingertips, and kept water tight with Ikelite pioneered Quad-Ring seal glands proven to be the most reliable method for sealing controls.

A full range of dome and flat ports accommodate most macro, wide-angle and zoom lenses. Port attachment is quick and easy with a simple locking system and clear view of the port o-ring seal. Lens port not included. A large zoom control knob can be comfortably reached without removing your hand from the handle.

The Ikelite Super-Eye magnifier comes standard and offers enhanced visibility of the camera's viewfinder while wearing a diving mask. The camera's large LCD screen can be clearly viewed through the back of the housing. A stay-depressed control unlocks the mode wheel for access of the live preview feature.

The housing includes iTTL conversion circuitry that puts perfect exposure at your fingertips. The TTL mode provides four 1/3 f/stop increments over or under flash compensation that is added to or subtracted from any compensation entered into the camera.

Seven manual power settings in half-stop increments allow for complete creative control. All choices are obtained by simply rotating a knob on the housing back.

The special TTL conversion circuitry operates perfectly with current model Ikelite DS digital SubStrobes. Other strobes can be used, but they cannot provide TTL or be manually controlled through the housing back.

The Ikelite has a market MSRP of around 1600 USD/1400 Euro.
