Mark, how about a web site where I could look at these. I use Aquapac cases but I am always on the lookout for new waterproof cases. <Bill> Brought to you from beautiful Unalaska/Dutch Harbor, Alaska.

I have used the same bag for the last 17 years. Never had a leak; works great.

Yes, I've been using one of their bags for the last 11 years or so. I use it with a Maxxum 8000i, 200 mm lense for shooting in the kayak, and have used it with different lenses for shooting while snorkelling. I am very happy with the product.

Hi Folks, > Hi, has anyone had any experience with this system. great you mention it Mark! On the waterproof discussion where Aquapac was mentioned, I wanted to point out on www.ewa.marine.de but didn´t got the time and the nerves (my awful unskilled english...) to point on Ewa-Marine products. So I do it now. Ewa-Marine is a german company placed nearby munich. Is very well known in the diving scene, got excellent solutions for all types of cameras. They are producing waterproof bags for phones, hand marine radios, cassette and CD-disc players ... I got a bag for my marine radio (ICOM M10). For those bags you have got the choice between the diveable lock and a more simple and much cheaper (than aquapac) lock. I got the cheaper one, it´s a kind of rail (double T profile), pushed over a small tube. The foil is bend around the "tube". Costed me 35 DEM, (~ 17 USD) including package and postage. For all padling devices it´s really okay and the material isn´t as thin as aquapac. For the future I will buy more from EWA. Aquapac is more "luxurious", more expensive and in some advices better developed "to the point". When you don´t need best designed and most expensive stuff, take EWA-marine. EWA is mostly known in the diving scene, in the BOOT Düsseldorf (worlds largest watersport exhibition) there only stand is in the diving hall. Aquapac is to find in one of the 3 yacht-equipment halls, thats and the better promotion, the english (or american ??) headquarters might be the reason Aquapac is better known then EWA worldwide.

The EWA web site has some very helpful information - for example, rubbing a slice of apple on the lens or the waterproof cover will break the surface tension of the water and prevent water droplets from forming. (I've had many pictures spoiled by water droplets on the lens!) BTW, the correct URL is www.ewa-marine.de, not www.ewa.marine.de.

I bought an Ewa bag for my Sony PC-100 camcorder and it stinks as far as being able to use all of the controls through the bag. On the 13 3/4 hour paddle around Catalina Island last summer, I stowed it between my legs and I got close to an hour of footage of my crotch before the batteries ran out. I didn't know it was on. I was pissed because I found out the battery was dead about 4 hours into the paddle. Even if you bring spare batteries with you, the bag is so tight that you WON'T want to switch batteries on the water. I therefore, sank another $1600 into the hard case (Sea-n-Sea) dive case which performs A LOT BETTER. take care jim gabriel ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Colvin To: PaddleWise Sent: 3/17/2001 11:36:25 AM Subject: [Paddlewise] Ewa Waterproof camera Bags Hi, has anyone had any experience with this system.
