Hey Guys
As a matter of interest for better or worse i ended up buying a Nexus housing with special 4.5" port designed for tokina 10-17 + 2 x z240 strobes with long float arms. The reason i went for this set up was due to it being more compact and lighter than its compeditors + i can still use it with TTL & manual.
i'll get a 60mm macro lens later in the year. Thanks for all the info and love all the pics.
Cheers Rob

Thanks for your help!
As I looked the possibilities, I found that SEA&SEA housings are the smallest and most solid (quite) low budget housings. Unfortunately they don't have D90 housing yet...they repied:
"SEA&SEA Main have plans to build an underwater housing for the Nikon D90.
No official release date has been announced."
Can I expect the future D90 housing to be approximately in the D80's price?
Would a full set (housing+arms+60mm macro port+ flashes) be much more expensive than the Ikelite's same package?
Which would you recommend, Ikelite or Sea&Sea?
Thanks again:
Sandor

The D90 has been out long enough that S&S should have a housing by now.
I don't think they are serious.
Do price total cost of ownership vs. Ike. Esp. check cord price.

personally I am not satisfied with the port system with my Ikelite D90 housing. Two little plastics clips to hold on large 8 inch domes. Reason why I bought the Ikelite as I had the ports and domes from using an Ikelite D80 housing.
If your starting out I maybe look at something like the Aquatica for example.

The Aquatica port mechanism is less than perfect too. It's got a nice baynet, but nothing to keep
the port from turning once installed. Adm. Linda has had her dome port come off on the boat,
fortunately with no damage. I'm trying to work out a locking mechanism.
