Review Summary

I have almost 200 dives with the Ikelite C-8080 housing and I've NEVER had a leak. It is heavy but fortunately underwater its almost neutrally buoyant. It is a handful with strobes attached but I have taken some awesome shots with it while diving in the Solomons.

Its a well constructed housing that can be serviced not thrown away when it leaks

Our new housing for the Olympus C-8080 includes special conversion circuitry to utilize the outstanding Olympus TTL system without wasting camera battery power and generating the heat of operating the camera built-in strobe which can not beutilized.
This is not a "watching" the camera strobe system. This is real Olympus TTL control with a sync cord, allowing optional Ikelite DS-50 and DS-125 SubStrobes to provide actual Olympus TTL automatic exposure dictated by the camera when attached with a single #4103.51 or #4103.52 dual sync cord.
Every camera function is accessible in the housing when underwater. The LCD information window on top of the camera is easy to see as is the LCD monitor.
An optional DS series Ikelite digital SubStrobe improves the photographs and accentuates the underwater colors. DS-50 and DS-125 digital SubStrobes can also be used with the Manual Controller when connected by sync cord, providing ten power settings. Older non-digital Ikelite SubStrobes can be used with a sync cord, operating in their manual mode only.
The comfortable Release Handle and Tray included allows easy attaching and removal of SubStrobe mounting arms at the touch of a button.
The heavy duty thick wall housing is molded of corrosion free clear polycarbonate and operates safely to 200 feet. Camera and housing complete weighs less than 7 pounds.
Housing measures 7" wide, 10.25" wide with removable tray and handle attached. Front to back measurement is 8" including lens port and knobs. height is 6.5" including push buttons and hardware.
