I too have a Canon G-9, in an Ikelite housing, with one Ikelite 125 substrobe.

I found this camera (plus rig) very very difficult to operate.

The weight of the combined package is too much! Even with the foam “floaty” blocks attached the camera rig feels like a boat anchor.

The camera, when zooming hits the front of the Ikelite housing causing an “auto” turn off of the camera …. this is an old problem that is well documented.

I too found that many many images come out blurry …. need too long of time for the camera’s internal Auto Focus to work.

I have had a horrible time with the camera’s white balance adjustment for UW images.

Thank God this camera is not in production anymore …. at best this is a learning experience for me!

I too have a Canon G-9, in an Ikelite housing, with Ikelite DS-160 & DS-51 substrobes. I’ve attached an Epoque DML-2 macro lens and have achieved amazing results. I’ve purchased the Ikelite W-20 wide angle lens, but have had some blurring issues. Hopefully the short port Ikelite (#9305.92) makes will clear things up. Great and informative article.

Thanks,

Loren
