I was looking at the Ikilite website and I still didnt understand how can I order parts for my equipment,,,

I have the following equipment that i would like to be with in my under water setup:

- Canon 7D
- 18-55 mm Lens
- 10-22 mm wide angle lens
- 100mm L series Macro lens

What would be the best selction of Ikelite parts to have the best setup...

Theres some different 18-55 lenses so knowing wich one is kinda imparative there..
 
OK so you have a wonderful expensive camera set up thats great!!!!
you want to put it in a tupleware box?????????
save up and go for a metal housing!!!!!
i know there expensive but there alot more resistant to divers!!!!!
just my opinon!! sorry if i have offended anyone.
 
That "tupperware box" is one of the most used housing manufacturers out there - It works...

Nkhanjary you need to find the appropriate ports/modules for your lenses and then find a dealer to order them from (or find a dealer that can help you find the appropriate parts)...

Nkhanjary, Thanks for your consideration of Ikelite equipment.

Sorry that this information wasn't posted sooner, but for those who are still interested the following options are available for the lenses listed in the original post of this thread:

Standard Port Option = Good optics, lightweight and compact
5503.50 Dome Port for 10-22mm and 18-5mm EF-S IS / EF-S IS II / IS STM
5505.45 Flat Port for 100mm Macro (AF only)

Modular Port Option = Better corner sharpness for wide angle
5510.45 Dome Assembly
5510.16 Port Body for 18-55mm
5510.22 Port Body for 10-22mm
5510.35 Flat Assembly
5510.28 Port Body for 100mm Macro (AF only)

There are also MF-only options available for the 100mm Macro, but we find most people are more than happy with the AF performance of this newer lens.

The vast majority of catastrophic housing floods are due to assembly error. Which is why we believe that the ability to see the main o-ring seal is a priceless advantage in "diver resistance." During the 51 years that we've been manufacturing equipment for divers, we've found that the average Ikelite housing will outlast the camera the camera that it contains by a long shot.
