The housing can be ordered through the Zillion website (Japanese), availability in other parts of the world may be difficult.


I'd personally stick with an Ikelite, at nearly half the price and a wide range of ports avalaible to suit most glass. Not to mention they their own great strobes and service that is second to none should anything go wrong

Jethro,

I had not heard of them before and a search on WetPixel didn't get any matches (other than someone saying that saw a bazillion salps on a dive).

As Australia is such a small market and underwater photography is an even smaller market, it is very hard to find a good deal on underwater gear here. For that reason I would recommend going for a more well known brand and buying it from outside Australia - the US being about the best for price and service.

As Tim says, the Ikelite housing are inexpensive but well renowned.
