The housing is in excellent condition, and fully functional! There is some chipped paint on the inside lip of the cover – see photo. I do not have the means to check if this hinders the water integrity, but my estimation is it doesn't, the O-ring should cover it easily! The housing is sold AS IS, with no warranty!
In any case all the O-rings should be checked and/or replaced, and a waterproofness check should be performed before using the housing underwater!
This Aquatica 5 housing for the Nikon F5 has a cast aluminum body that can operate safely to a depth of 300' (90m).
The lens port has a mounting system, which leaves no doubt that your port is secure in place and watertight. The system also offers fast access to lenses for rapid changing. The system accommodates lenses ranging from Fisheye to the 200mm Macro. The housing has a Nikonos style TTL bulkhead installed as well as a second plugged port.
The Housing features an electromechanical shutter release. This gives you fingertip response over the decisive moment. A new twin-cam switch electronically activates the metering and autofocus functions independently, before firing the shutter. The shutter release responsive control is adjustable for customizing to photographers' personal needs. There is also a MSC Control. This allows the user to access and choose manual, continuous or select functions underwater. The LCD Illuminator will assist you to reference the complete LCD top panel of camera settings and exposure information in a single glance, with a push of the illuminator switch.
