Mike, thanks for answering the questions.
After I wrote you, I went to your website and saw what you do for a living. I really wasn't trying to get a free class but just thirsty to talk to someone with a G2 setup and substrobes so I can see what my options are.
Right now, I just have the Ikelite housing and the G2, and the 20d without any housing. I've always used the onboard flash with the G2 and thought I was happy with the photos until I started seeing ones taken with strobes (
www.pbase.com/dougsturgess look in the travel photography gallery or the Favorites gallery and you can see examples taken underwater from the Caribbean to Alaska to Tahiti).
If I could, I'd love to trade in the G2 housing for the 20d but it's quite expensive. Then there's the ports, substrobes, etc. etc. etc. I'm trying to figure out how I could improve my photos with what I have now, i.e. adding on the substrobe & the Inon wide angle & dome. It sure would be nice to be able to take the 20d down under and not have the shutter lag...and not have to take 2 cameras on vacation. However, the nice thing about the G2 is you can take underwater video. I wish the 20d had that capability.
So, knowing you sell the equipment, if I were going to stick with the G2 and try to maximize it's capabilities, what would you suggest adding on to it and to make sure all the equipment is compatible? Would I see a noticeable difference in the photos the the new add-ons? Would the add-ons (substrobe, Inon wideangle/macro/dome) be compatible with the 20d housing should I every be rich enough to afford it in the future? How much could I get for a G2 Ikelite housing in excellent condition?
If your prices are competitive, I'd buy from you instead of the other company I originally purchased the Ikelite housing through.
Thanks for your time!
