I want to shoot a few rolls with a Rolleiflex underwater in a
swimming pool. I'm taking her down to 18 inches.
Is there a way to do this safely (for the camera) (I will survive)
for a short shoot like this? I briefly considered a large Baggie
but thought that might be dodgy.
And can anyone share Don Williams's contact information with me?
That's not too difficult, it's in the signature below.
There are 4 versions of the Rolleimarin and I have a version 4, that
uses only a Rollei 3.5F. It's for sale, along with the camera,
accessories, and spare parts, but not for rent.
I have two recommendations:
1. Build yourself a box with an open top and a window in the
side at the bottom so that you can hold it from the surface and
easily get your taking lens down 18".
2. Buy or rent one from a repair company I know of in Northern
California. There is a specialist there who owns 4-5 Rolleimarins
and he would probably be pleased to rent one to you. I don't have
his email address at hand but it's in this computer somewhere. If
you want to contact him let me know and I will dig out his name,
email address, and the website for the company he works for.
Good luck, and don't drop your camera in the water.
Yes indeed, a baggie is not a good idea.
