Konica C35 underwater housing

[rjclarke]

Hi- I recently aquired a Konica C35 with a underwater housing, and

flash for underwater use. Any idea where I might find information on

the housing? The flash unit uses bulbs, the purchase included about

100 bulbs.

I am wondering if these can be safely loaded into the flash unit

underwater

 

thanks in advance for your assistance

I have a camera like yours and I like it, its small and easy to carry and use.

 

I didnt know it had a underwater housing, I believe a great finding.

 

My suggestions is first to test both housings (camera and flash) empty to make sure water does not leaks inside.

 

Good Luck!

Try the internet search engines for information. Or, maybe even Konica.

I found the underwater housing mentioned in the C35 instructions. The flash uses two PX825 cells which are no longer available (even in Europe, the only packed 825 cell I have ever seen was ten years old). I think a lithium cell will fit into the compartment, together with some coins. Make sure the seals are tight (they are probably hardened) before using it under water.

 

I found my underwater housing in a shop in Paris years ago, mine is missing the flashgun.

Thanks for the answers. I did not think it needed batteries. I have included a picture of the flash unit. It takes AG-1b bulbs<div></div>
