It won't fit the Rebel but you should check out the model number on the Ike website.

I wondered how the housing is going to be compatible with all sorts of cameras (as the ad mentioned), each model has different knobs and buttons at different locations...

its an old film housing, so even the substrobe wont work, with new cameras its useless. I cant belive the price it has gone up to..... unless you have an old film camera that is right for this particular housing then it is rubbish.

What you will find is that new Ikelike Rebel XT housings are going to run around $1200, and then you need at least another $1000 in ports, strobes, and accessories. You may find something used on Ebay. If you are lucky you may find a used Ike housing in the $1000 range and it *might* even include a port.

My experience is that anything recent used in the UW housing/strobe market will not save you a ton of $$$, and it may be more hassle than it's worth to put things together vs. just biting the bullet, and ordering what you need.
