Look at what just came in the mail today! Super stoked and can't wait to use this. My bro and I bought this to use for surfing pix but I intend to use it on a lot more than just that :)

thats sick how much did it cost? pretty pricey i think. How big of a lens can you use? I am figuring you wouldn't want anything to big cuz of the weight. I wouldn't wanna try and lug my 70-200 out on a surfboard also where did you get it from anyhow lmk...
 
Nice. I've always wanted to try one of those, but I'm too chicken that it would leak and ruin my D40. Let us know how it does...
 
So far it passed the leak test. I'm posting picture of how it did under zoa forum and photography forum. i need better photography skills.

aalvarado- it has room to put a telephoto lens on but i'm not sure you would really need on in the water lol. you can trap air inside of the bag to make it float or semi float so its not too heave. My brother is really good on a paddle board(stand up board) so I load up in a kayak and kayak way out to this secret break we found while he paddle boards out there. We rigged up an anchor for the kayak so i'll just anchor that and jump over board with my wetsuit and fin...get in real nice and tight into the wave...at least this is the idea haha. Hope Mr. Jaws is on vacation lol

I got it on Ebay for 120 shipped! ordered it on friday and got it noon today! super fast shipping lol
 
Wow thats nice, ones for my camera run roughly 5k+ and thats for the cheap brands that have tendncy's to leak.
 
yeah well i'm sure Pentex isnt all that great which is why there were only two to choose from...$60 cheapo and $120 nicer one. I watched a video of it in action before I bought it and that vid convinced me.
 
lol im glad you didnt go the cheap route, i have read many horror stories of these leaking on high end cameras and causing some damage. Did you read any reviews?
