The F350D's interchangeable port system accommodates a wide variety of SLR lenses, allowing photographers to capture the widest variety of superior underwater images.
The Fantasea F350D is more than just an underwater camera housing since it provides protection for the Canon Rebel XT/EOS 350D against damage from rain, snow, dust, sand and dirt.

Once inside the housing the stainless steel latching buckles on the back door are snapped shut, sealing the system with a sound watertight seal.
