SCUBAPIX INSIGHT: "The D90 has been the choice camera for many underwater photographers since its release. The Aquatica D90 housing's ultra compact size, fantastic ergonomics and robust finish have redefined entry-level housings for DSLRs."
The Aquatica housing for the Nikon D90 is a full function housing - it has everything you need and it is all inside a very compact housing. The D90 was the first DSLR to offer both stills and High Definition video, now the best of both worlds meet under the same housing.
Our saddle mounting/locking system is a dream, it allows for easy sliding of the D90 body on two solid rods. There is no misalignment of the body inside the housing and with the integrated head stopper; the camera is rock solid inside the housing.
New spring loaded contacts with the Aperture and Speed dials make for flawless and smooth changes to these settings.
The Aquatica D90 ports, extension rings, and lens gears are compatible with all other bayonet mount Aquatica housings.
Because of the large port opening on Aquatica bayonet style housing, the system can accept the largest selection of lenses in the industry, even those with a very large diameter and controls, such as the new AF MICRO-NIKKOR 105MM f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR and AF Nikkor 14-24mm f/2, 8 AF-S G, there will even be a manual focus gear for this lens part.
The recommended servicing procedures of the products are outlined in the manuals supplied with the product. The outside of the housings and the accessories should be rinsed in fresh water after every dive. The handles should be removed after use otherwise if they remain attached to the housing for any length of time they may bind to the housing and be extremely difficult to remove. We suggest that the main O rings be lubricated regularly and all of the O rings be checked annually.
