Mako Shark Camera
I have been giving thought to making an underwater housing for one of my cameras. I've got this idea for some shots, like a creature looking out of the water towards shore.
No, I'm sober. :) And yes I can swim. :)
I bought this camera from Northwest Collector Camera the other day. It is called the Mako Shark. It uses the workings from a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye. I'll need to replace the glass in front of the lens. Easy Peasy. It can use either color or B&W 120 film. It was made for 620. But you can use a 120 roll on the feed side and a 620 take up spool.
Could come in handy for some warm weather rain shots too. :)
I really need to stay off those camera sale sites. ;)

Now that is really nice :) Good catch !!!
Not only seems that will be way useful for what you have in mind, it's also incredibly cool !
An underwater housing WITH built-in camera AND those lovely brownie-like effects. Will you be making this one into a round picture taker also ? :)
It would be easy to slip a round mask in the camera. :)
Now I'm getting more ideas. I got to quit buying these cameras. LOL
I need one of these. And I didn't know that until just now!
