Stan,
Thanks for the history. I have a Minolta SRT 100.Bought it in the military,1971. Has a Flash etc. with it.I think it's in great condition.Would love to sell it,just not sure of its value. I thought about ebay,but not sure I want to deal with the public exposure..

I love the products that Sony come out with. But I find the company so awful I couldn't part with money for any of them.

GoPro has a new camera, the Hero2. They still assert they are going to introduce an underwater housing. Regrettably, I lost mine near the end of my voyage on Turks & Caicos Explorer II last week. I put in a claim with DAN related H2O insurance.

How could they leave the waterproof Nikonos off the list? A lot of really great underwater photographs were taken with camera and published in books and magazines. I have read that these were also very popular topside journalists during the Vietnam war because they could be dropped in rice paddies without damage.
This camera, as shown above, is ready to go diving deeper than you or me. It has waterproof connection for strobe and through-the-lens light metering.
According to wikipedia, the predecessor, "Calypso" was manufactured from 1963 until the end of the 70's. The Nikonos 4a (pictured above) was manufactured 1980 through 1984.
Their lenses are still appreciated today by some underwater photographers. You can buy an adapter to mount Nikonos lenses to underwater housings for modern digital cameras. This allows photographers to get more life out of their udnerwater lenses that may be nearly 50 years old now.
Wikipedia has a short article on Paul Bartsch who, according to wikipedia, made an underwater camera in 1922.
I can not remember the name of the guy that has been credited with taking the world's first underwater photographs.

My Nikonos IV flooded and died on a trip to Alaska. I didn't replace it as I went digital.
