These recommendations are for Canon cameras when used with Ikelite brand housings. Click here to see recommended strobe systems for use with Canon brand compact digital housings.

All TTL Systems are compatible with current model Ikelite DS Substrobes only. Strobes built before September 2004 will not operate properly with these systems. Updates are available for some early DS Substrobes. Click here for upgrade information by serial number. A #4103.51 or #4103.52 cord is required for TTL operation. These cords are identifiable by a blue band on one end.

Non-digital Ikelite Substrobes cannot be used with these systems. Non-Ikelite strobes can be attached via sync cord, but will not provide TTL exposure or allow use of the housing's electronic features.

A #6420.46 Ikelite W20 and other 46mm threaded lenses attach directly to port.

B #6420 Ikelite W20, #6430 Ikelite W30 and other 67mm threaded lenses attach directly to port.

C Use #9306.81 adapter to attach #6420 Ikelite W20 and other 67mm threaded lenses including Inon UWL-100 Type II and Epoque DCL-20.

D Use #9306.80 adapter to attach Inon UWL-105AD bayonet style lenses.

E Use #9306.79 adapter to attach Inon UWL-100AD, UWL-105AD and UFL-165AD bayonet style lenses.

F Optional #9305.92 Flat Port slightly limits camera's zoom range, but allows for the effective use of 67mm threaded external lenses.

G #6430.4 WD-4 Wide Angle Conversion Dome restores camera's full angle of coverage underwater. Or use #9306.82 adapter to attach 67mm threaded macro lenses from Inon and Epoque.

H Other manufacturers' 67mm threaded macro lenses attach directly to the port. Due to the extremely wide angle of the camera's native lens, external wide angle lenses provide no significant advantage.

I Optional 9306.35 Wide Angle Port slightly limits camera's zoom range, but allows for the effective use of 67mm threaded external lenses.

* Extreme vignetting with Inon UWL-105AD and UFL-165AD lenses.
