The new Ikelite 4 clip housings are available for the Nikon D60 if your on a budget. They also have excellent strobes like the DS160 that match it and provide true TTL.

Mark, I believe you shoot with D-90/Ikelite ? I just got the same set up but unfortunately I have the 2 clip housing. Have had any problems with leaks?
I put the system together and is somewhat tight to put the zoom ring on and to get the port attached. Any hints?
Plan to use this weekend, diving on wrecks of the North Carolina coast for the first time.

Regards,
Carl

aquatica has made a d40, d40x and the d60 is the same. It fits in the same housing. backscatter.com has a few left. Ports and gears are available there as well. The aquatica is aluminum housing and it is a much better choice than ikelite. As far as strobes if you shoot manual any strobe will work. I use a sb105 nikonos strobe with my aquatica housing. I also use an ikelite ai strobe when i shoot twins. You can find lots of sb105 on ebay as most people think you can't use it with a digital camera. On manual you can but If you need ttl you will need one of the newer ttl strobe.
