Re: Pentax *ist Ds Underwater housing

[Peter J. Alling]

Yea, that's right.  I'm going to put my $1000+ digital camera, not to 
mention a lens that worth a few hundred more, into an underwater housing 
that doesn't seem to have a depth rating?  How much you paying me?

G'day y'all,
Saw a mention of this on the pentax.de website, so went searching.
It's made by a company called UK-Germany and appears to be able to 
take most moderately sized lenses (remember you're limited to 
autofocus though!) - the DA 14, D-FA 100 and 50 macros plus the DA 
18-55 all fit as examples.
Can't see any references to depth ratings or such.

Here's the site: www.ukgermany.com/
and photos are available at:

Anyway, it looks pretty cool to me - who's gunna get one and give it a 
go? q-:

Cheers,
David
