Last month, under pressure from an impending tax refund, I
splurged on a used Ikelite housing for OM-1 and 1n. This seemed
like the perfect way to combine two hideously expensive habits :-)
I've been told for years that I'm nuts not to buy a modern AF SLR
system -- am I even more crazy to do underwater photography with
manual focus and exposure? (Makes me think I should get a cheap,
disposable OM-10 body if it will work in the housing. If some
day I see salt water pouring in, I'd rather see it hitting an
OM-10 than an OM-1 :-)
Any other people on the list using their precious Olympus gear
underwater? Any advice for a new underwater photographer, other
than obvious things like replacing all the O-rings on a used case
so it doesn't flood the first time I use it?
