    6812.3 iTTL Housing f/ Nikon D300

    Mfr# 6812.3 | B&H# IK6812.3

    This Ikelite housing for the Nikon D300 allows iTTL operation with the Ikelite DS digital SubStrobes when connected to the housing's bulkhead by a sync cord. A large dial on the back of the housing puts precise exposure control right at your fingertips. The top (yellow) half of the exposure dial provides four 1/3 f/stop increments over or under flash compensation to be added to or subtracted from any compensation entered into the camera. The bottom (black) half of the dial provides seven manual power settings in half-stop increments. Other manufacturers' strobes can be used, but they cannot provide iTTL exposure or be adjusted manually through the housing.

    Controls are provided for every camera function except the Metering selector that surrounds the AE/AF button. Camera Flash Compensation button can be activated by your index finger while your hand remains on the handle. "Stay depressed" control operates the White Balance, ISO and Qual functions on top left of camera body. AE/AF lock button can be activated with your thumb while holding the handle.

    The housing size and weight provides neutral buoyancy and superb handling underwater. 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.

    The Ikelite Super-Eye magnifier provided with the housing offers enhanced viewing while wearing a diving mask. An assortment of interchangeable lens ports allows use of most macro, wide angle, and zoom lenses.

    A lens port is required to match specific lens on SLR camera. Please also note that some zoom lenses might require addition of a Close-Up #4 diopter filter on the lens.
