Aqua Tech

RussellW · 11-19-2008, 04:06 PM

I own a Sigma EX 300 f2.8 and use a K10D, a good investment that needs to taken care of.

Well yesterday I bought a Aqua tech sport sheild and NEP-80 eye piece.

You may think it's expensive, and yes there are other thinner material covers which I also have. However when you send approx $5500, $295 is a good investment in protection.

You will notice that they offer eye pieces for Canon and Nikon, well they are going to change that to add Pentax as the NEP-80 fits the K10D.

I've been wanting something like this for ages, but none are stocked here. Did you have a good look at others first?

I have another brand called Storm jacket, these are good, however I wanted better protection. I other photographers who have canon equipment and they recommend this to me.

They have a office in Thirroul near Wollongong NSW Australia, 61 2 4268 3550
I went down to our office and they came to me with all the eye pieces to find one that fits the Pentax.

Those Aqua Techs ain't cheap are they? I may have to get something like this instead. Quite a bit cheaper. I currently use a plastic bag.

I dont see any 295$ housing on this web site, they're all more than 1k... they look nice though.

Ikelite also make housings like these, below 1k usually.

I personally have an Aquapak bag, works well for snorkeling, and about 100$.
