    What to look for in a used housing?

    Hi,
    I guess the title says it all. What should I look for before I buy a used housing? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm looking into buying a used housing so I can enter the DSLR world and upgrade from my Oly 5060.

    Thanks,
    Gil

    Well I'm really no expert but I would hold it under water while empty to see if its leaking.

    Also check the lens area that the plastic isn't damaged over there but further than than I cannot come up with any more things...

    Good luck and have fun with looking for a casing!
