I have used an EWA bag for my EOS 650 and Elan IIe, and have been extremely dissatisfied with the results. At first, I used a 35-70 zoom, but I found that the pressure of the glass port against the front of the lens interfered with focusing. I then tried a 28-105 that had a non-rotating front element, and that solved the focus problem, but I could not zoom the lens. I also had problems with the bouyancy of this system, and the difficulty of opperating camera controlls with the glove.

I recently purchased a Kenko-Delphinus aluminium housing for my A2E, and feel that this is the best way to go. The housing is neutrally bouyant, has interchangeable ports to fit every lens, and gives full access to every camera function. Yes, it costs a lot more, but the bennefits clearly outweigh the cost.
Any advice on EWA Marine housings
