Underwater Housings: (continued)
Professional
housings for digital SLR (DSLR) cameras:
Though substantially more
expensive than the compact housings, they meet the demands of pro
photographers who require a full range of accessories to
accommodate a wide variety of lenses and strobes.
With this type of housing, the
photographer can access virtually any control, and select from a
variety of ports.
Typically they are made from
machined metal, or a combination of machined metal and plastic.
The ports are often optical grade glass, as opposed to the plastic found in compact housings. Because of the cost of
creating such high-quality housings, they are generally used by
photographers with a professional interest. And a budget to
match.
Part 2. Ports:
Having a wonderful
collection of lenses in the camera bag is often what prompts a
serious photographer to buy a professional housing over a simple
point-and-shoot system in the first place.
Regrettably, to take advantage
of all those lenses the photographer will soon incur another cost:
ports for the various lenses.
