Fairly neutral with the large dome port.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>\n\tErgonomics<\/h2>\n<p>\n\tVery ergonomic housing, the aperture, shutter speed dials and shutter release are all easily controlled with the right hand. Putting the camera in and out of the housing is simple. The housing has 2 built in handles that are easy to hold underwater. I&#39;ve tried the Ikelite D300 housing, and compared to this housing the Ike housing dials and controls were very hard to use.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>\n\tPorts &amp; Bulkheads<\/h2>\n<p>\n\t2 bulkheads for Sea &amp; Sea 5-pin sync cords. No optical connections, and the internal flash can not be raised inside the housing.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe port system is great, the ports twist on and off in a second bayonet style, and are securely locked on from inside the housing.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>\n\tControls<\/h2>\n<p>\n\tAccess to all the important controls for photography, including C\/S\/M switch, which I&nbsp;use a lot, and focus lock.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>\n\tHousing Issues<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\tThe TTL-converter sync cord port is prone to corrosion. Myself and a couple other divers have already had to have this bulkhead replaced. Maintain it carefully after every few dives, or you may be unable to remove the sync cord from the bulkhead. The sync cord that attaches to this bulkhead also corrodes easily, keep the threads clean with a toothbrush. If you have the TTL converter, maintain those bulkheads in a similar fashion.<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tThe setup can be quite heavy underwater, especially with a 105mm lens, so additional buoyancy may be needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>\n\tMaterials and Depth Rating<\/h2>\n<p>\n\tAluminum housing, rated to 200ft<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>\n\tComparison to Sea &amp; Sea D80\/D200 housings<\/h2>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWell, I still think the D80 housing is one of the best Sea &amp;Sea ever made, with it&#39;s ultra-secure 3 latch design. The D300 housing went down to 2 metal latches, but the buttons and aperture\/shutter speed dials are slightly improved over the D80\/D200 housings, and this housing feels a little lighter\/smaller than the D200 housing. It&#39;s still a graet housing.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>\n\tPrice<\/h2>\n<p>\n\t$2900 new in the US at the major camera shops, as of April 2009.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>\n\tRecommended accessories<\/h2>\n<p>\n\t2 8-inch arms, <a href=\"\/arms-clamps-underwater\">4 ultralight ball &amp; joint clamps<\/a>, sea &amp; sea or ultralight hot shoe mount to mount a focus light. I use 2 8-inch arms on each side for macro and wide-angle, and it works out well.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h2>\n\tD300 underwater settings &amp; lens recommendations<\/h2>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t<a href=\"underwater-photography-settings-macro-and-wide-angle\">Camera settings for macro and wide-angle underwater photography<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t<a href=\"\/underwater-photography-lenses\">Nikon Underwater lens recommendations<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\n\tHousing Maintenance and Floods<\/h2>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tPlease read the chapter on <a href=\"\/underwater-housing-maintenance\">underwater housing maintenance and camera floods<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>\n\t&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h2>\n\tConclusion<\/h2>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThis <a href=\"\/underwater-housings\">underwater housing<\/a> is great &#8211; it has the reputation as one of the best housing-camera combinations out there right now for dSLR&nbsp;underwater photography. All the ports, extensions, gears, ttl converter etc. can really add up in price though, price it out carefully.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tI have about 215 dives with this housing as of June 2009 and it&#39;s still going strong.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>\n\tFrom the Sea &amp; Sea Website:<\/h2>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>TTL converter connector employed as standard.<\/strong><br \/>\n\tThe included type-N 5-pin wired connector accepts the optional TTL converter III for Nikon.&nbsp; The converter works with the YS-Series strobes to provide automatic TTL flash adjustment.<br \/>\n\tThe converter requires the Sync Cord\/N for connecting to a strobe.<br \/>\n\tThe MDX-D300 housing comes from the factory with these type-N connectors: one 2-pin wired connector and one 5-pin wired connector.<br \/>\n\tTo use two SEA&amp;SEA YS-Series strobes with the factory-equipped type-N connectors, you must use the Dual Sync Cord\/N.<br \/>\n\t&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\n\t<strong>Main features of the MDX-D300 housing<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\tEvery detail of the housing is precision CNC machined. Ergonomically designed for ease of use.<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tManufactured from solid block aluminum alloy with all edges carefully polished for safety.<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tThe housing is protected by a highly corrosion resistant anodized (black) coating. The coating provides the housing from environmental corrosion and abrasions.<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tAn optional TTL converter III for Nikon enables automatic TTL strobe photography.<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tEquipped with a 0.66x pick-up viewfinder standard. An interchangeable 0.8x viewfinder (optional) is also available.<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tBoth the main command dial and sub command dial are operable while holding the hand grips due to advanced ergonomic design.<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tMost Nikon D300 camera functions are accessible and can be operated underwater with ease.<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tThe quick shoe makes the camera easy to install and remove from the housing.<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tA port lock mechanism secures the port from accidental loosening.<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tComes standard with two kinds of type-N connectors: one 2-pin wired connector (for manual) and one 5-pin wired connector (for dedicated TTL).<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tThe locking latches prevent accidental housing opening.<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tA built-in leak sensor immediately alerts you to any water leakage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<br \/>\n\t<strong>[MDX-D300 Specifications]<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\tConstruction: Body: corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy (machined) \/ anodized body, Grip: corrosion-resistant die-cast aluminum alloy<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tDepth rating: 60m \/ 200ft<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tDimensions (WxHxD): 330x163x136mm \/ 13.2&#215;6.5&#215;5.4inch<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tWeight: Approx. 2,500g \/ 87.5oz (Housing only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\n\tFurther Reading<\/h2>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"\/sea-sea-dome-port-test\">Sea &amp;
