As the camera and its various components are be operated through the plastic the camras is operated normally and the use of an ewa-marine housing is easily adapetd to by the camera man. The U-AX is designed to fit almast all common SLR cameras on the market today irrespective of the manufacturer or model. With this housing a whole new world of applications openes up for your standard SLR camera: Inside the housing you can now take the camera safely canoeing snorkling or eaven diving up to a deapth of 20 m / 60 ft. If the optional BF1 lead weight is inserted into the housig underneath the camera it becomes even easier to reach the maximum depth. Experienced photographers have confirmed that the auto focus and flash both continue to function perfectly. As you descend the air is pressed into the camera. Due to this the pressure inside the housing will remain the same as the surrounding water pressure. (this is the reason why ewa-marine housings are so safe to use: implosions are impossible) Due to this we have to start the dive with a suitable amount of air inside the housing. The foam pads supplied with the housing are part of this air \"reservoir\" and additional air should also be blown into the housing via the valve at the rear to ensure that the maximum potential volume is being ut?lised. Designed specifically for 35mm SLR cameras the U-AX housing is manufactured from double laminated PVC and has an integrated optically neutral flat glass port. The external flash that is commonly used on SLR cameras fits into the specially designed section on the top of the housing. It has a pair of non-corrosive and seawater resistant clamping rails which fit together for perfect sealing. They tighten by means of three screw knobs. It is supplied in a handy yellow carry-case which has a water-proof interior and zippered side-pocket. You will receive the following with your new U-AX : Yellow carry-case which has a water-proof interior and zippered side-pocket Manual for ewa-marine SLR-photo housings Initial supply of CD5 Specially profiled foam padding AV110 autofocus adapter

Review of Ewa-marineU-A Underwater SLR Camera Housing by
amartin13
taken from ciao.co.uk
Advantages Watertight, Floats very easily, Safe Disadvantages Floats very easily, "The Scare Factor", space for the flash
...with fresh water after use and dry off. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents on it as it will dissolve the plastic. Salt water is also very corrosive, and as part of the seal is metallic, you will want to take good care of it and preserve the life of your kit,
Would I buy it again? Yes, although I would probably want to take advantage of a larger pack for a flash gun, such as the Ewa-marineU-AX or Ewa-marineU-AXP.
Thanks for reading - and hope this review helps you.
