dearest frameworkers,
Does anyone have an underwater housing for a bolex that i could
rent/borrow/trade? I'm also thinking about making one - just a simple plexi
glass box with a glove - sort of "boy in the bubble"- like - does anyone
have any tips on such endeavors - mainly on adhesives and plexiglass
"weilding" and which plexiglass is optically better...?
I borrowed a goofy "french underwater industries" housing for a k100 but the
camera is not too thrilled with life at the moment - 5 stops off! I'd really
rather use my bolex anyways. While I'm on that topic I'm also searching for
a rex 4 or 5 body for my j.k.. Anyone have one thats looking rather dusty,
neglected and in need of a new mother?.
thanks friends,
micaela
