Ewa-Marine U-A Overview

The Ewa-Marine U-A Waterproof Case is an economical solution for using any autofocus SLR camera near or just under the water's surface, manufactured from double-laminated PVC and with an optical glass port. It is rated for dives of up to 66' depth, perfect for snorkeling, shallow diving, or generally sandy, dusty, and humid weather conditions. The U-A gives your camera the best possible protection while being fully operable. When not in use, it is relatively light and takes up little space.

A pair of noncorrosive and seawater-resistant clamping rails fit together for sealing, tightened by knurled screw knobs. The housing's internal glove allows easy access to camera controls. If your setup is too buoyant underwater, the optional BF1 lead weight can be affixed to the bottom of the housing.

The U-A housing accommodates an autofocus SLR camera without shoe-mounted flash, with the maximum dimensions being 6.7 x 5.3 x 6.7" with a lens and a 67mm maximum lens filter thread. Adapters for 52, 55, 58, and 62mm filter threads are included.

Ideal Near-Surface Solution
The Ewa-Marine housing is perfect for use at or near the water's surface, such as in sailing or snorkeling, but it is also practical for protection from harsh weather conditions.

Bellowed to Work with Autofocus SLR Cameras
The ribbed, bellowed section of the housing allows some fore and aft movement of a lens during its focusing action.
Double-Laminated PVC Construction
Long-lasting housing solution that is easy to maintain and packs in minimal space.
Noncorrosive Clamping Rails
The noncorrosive and seawater-resistant clamping rails are secured by knurled thumbscrews.
Packs up Tight
This housing takes a minimum of space when collapsed.
Battery Packs
The specially profiled foam padding can be removed from the housing to allow room for a battery pack.
Optional Lead Weight
Buoyancy can be changed by adding optional BF1 lead weight.
Economical
Priced significantly less than conventional housings.

Will this fit the Fuji Xt3 with 16-80mm (72mm thread)? BH overview says 67, specs say 72. Ewa marine's website says 67, but their drawing indicates 72. Can someone look at it and see if it is 72mm? thx.
Asked by: Clive
No, the Ewa-Marine U-A Underwater Housing only works with filters up to 67mm in size. For 72mm you need the Ewa-Marine U-A100 Underwater Housing for DSLRs and Mirrorless Cameras, BH #EWEMUA100 (https://bhpho.to/3Jdj5M6). One can use step up rings for the smaller filter sizes.

question

Can a Canon 5D Miii with a 24-70mm (Canon L-Series) fit comfortably in here?
Asked by: Anonymous
The Ewa-Marine U-A Underwater Housing is too small for the Canon 5D mark III. Also the lens port could only handle lenses that have a 72mm filter thread. The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM has a 82mm filter thread.The Ewa-Marine U-BF100 Underwater Housing is large enough for the Canon 5D Mark III and the lens port can handle lenses with a 82mm filter thread.

Can the U-A accommodate a lens that is not threaded (wide angle fish eye) or are the threads required for proper attachment?
Asked by: Price
It can accommodate a non threaded lens. Be sure your camera is warm and dry before it goes in the housing to reduce the chance of fogging.

Hi there. This model will be for a Nikon D7200 with a Sigma Art lens 30mm 1.4?
Asked by: Jc V.
I bought this for my son's Nikon - I forget which model but a common DSLR package. He used it in Bali and loved it - so I believe it will work for yours.

question

can a Nikon D750 with a 24-70mm nikorr lens fit in this housing?
Asked by: Nasrin S.
For that outfit we would reccomend the U-B Series which allows for a larger body/lens combination. filter thread is also important to not as larger filter threads such as 77 or 82 mm lenses need to utilize the 100 designation housings which have a larger front port.
