hire info:
we always rent a pair of cameras out in case of any issues: they’re all antiques after all.
once the package is collected, from camden, it needs to be insured or in your care at your risk. replacement value of this package is £4000.
we can supply film at a 5% discount with any hire.
payment in advance. deposit taken if no insurance in place.
we will supply link to explanatory video, manual, and can trouble shoot / teach you on collection / by remote during your shoot, within reasonable limits!!!
although we send you a spare body, this should only be used in case of issue with the first body. you are not hiring two cameras for use in a two-camera shoot, and the price reflects that. we also can’t offer any guarantees, or be held liable, in case of an issue with one or both of the cameras.
package includes: 2 x eumig nautica, wide angle adapter, underwater zoom set adaptor, handles, sights, eyecup, neutral buoyancy float handstrap, original lens cap, synthetic chammy cloth, spare o-rings and grease, aftermarket baseplate and extra handle, case. dry-bag available on request.
more techy camera info:
meters: 25-160 ISO, automatic. this includes kodak 50d, 100d, 200t, 250d. kodak 500t will overexpose. we recommend 1 stop overexposure for negative film, so using 50D use the +1 exposure setting on camera. 200t and 250d will be great without the +1 on.
lens: 9-30mm. 5.3mm achievable with wide angle adaptor f/1.9 fixed focus. close focus varies enormously depending on amount of light and focal length (from 0.5m to 6.6m!) but is always good to infinity. no focussing required! with macro use, expect as close as 17cm close focus above water and 27cm underwater. the zoom adaptor allows for zooming underwater. this camera can not accept other lenses
batteries: the camera requires 2xAA batteries
diopter: this camera features an eyepiece that can be adjusted for different eyesights, so you don’t need to wear glasses / contacts. just turn the rubber eyepiece to adjust. use the sight for line up if wearing a sub-aqua mask!
