Steve Philbrook and Takuya Torii were at INON‘s booth showing off the new INON X-2 housing for the Canon 10D, 20D, and 30D digital SLRs.  With its external gearing and magnetic focus ring, the X-2 has a look unlike any other SLR housing on the market.  The X-2 ships at the end of November and is built to deliver (3-4 lead time).

INON also showed its Z-240 and D-2000 strobes, along with lots of accessories.

The X-2 features:

- support for Canon EOS 10D, 20D, and 30D
- 2 x optical sync bulkheads
- optional 5-pin bulkheads
- magnetic focus ring right on macro port (!)
- 67mm macro port thread for diopters, etc.
- aperture (rear) dial is reachable with fleshy part of thumb
- optical coated glass ports
- shutter locks to prevent misfire
- internal flash flips up and down
- 550 grams negative in the water

Looks sexy.
