Hallo!

I've bought the under water bag ewa-marine U-F for the M9/M8. I'm not going to use to underwater but for special ocasions when I want to go very close to the water, or very stormy weather, canoe, etc. My surprise is that the adapter to fix the lens to the bag is not the size for filters less than A- 49. Is possible to find a adapter for E-39 filters?

Have any of you be successfull with this bag?

I was a retail photo store manager for twenty years.

We stocked the EWA Marine line of water resistant

camera cases. We would check them out to see

how useful they were. The models with internal

gloves seemed useless. I was a scuba diver at

the time and tried a few out in the pool. It was

almost impossible to use them with a camera

underwater affectively. If you aren't diving, then

I would look at the models without the internal

glove. As far as adapters, I think the smallest

lens adapter was 49mm. That may have changed.

 

My 2¢........YMMV. Let us know what model you

get and if you find it useful or not.

Back in the days of the Nikon F801 (the first really viable AF underwater camera) I spent a dive with an F801 stuck on my hand in one of these:D. Once the depth exceeded a couple of meters the pressure clamped it onto my hand and I couldn't get it off. It worked BUT I'd suggest that anyone who buys one should try it out in wet conditions without the camera in it first - they can leak and seams can split. They need regular inspection for split seams and any other damage throughout their working life too. I'm not a great fan but they are viable and reasonably cheap for occasional use.
