hi friends,
just meet my collegue and friend which is a tehnic Teacher in a specialized micromecanic hight school in our town.

his hobby is surfing and diving (the Atlantic ocean is 250km from here)

So after learning BW photography from me and looking after Lubitel.... he decide to cut some cameras to make diving cameras.

First he used Lubitel whith success (ask for pics , please) and last year, he asked me to provide a lens shutter block from Iskra.
i found it from Ralf Camera shop. Franck Dupuis (his name) built a new waterproof camera arround this.

He told me , do not know how much deep he can reach whith this model...may be more than 50mts, even 100mts.

So, if anyone want to built the same , he kindly offer here 3D drawings and pictures.

The name of the camera is : 120-4-K.RAD product (120 because the fim size and 4 because it is the 4 th prototype he make !)

thruth is he had in his hand modern machine tools (laser cut and electro erode.. !

And , as teachers...we have leisures time free ......

So look here for pictures :

so ask for technical details if you need it (Franck will respond himself kindly)
