Description

The listing, Minolta Weathermatic (waterproof) 35mm Film Camera has ended.

This is a 35mm film camera. Made by Minolta I have not used it in about 3 years but the last time it was used it worked well it has been in storage ever since. It comes with the case which also works as a fanny pack type case that wraps around the waist. The camera has very little wear the case has a bit more wear. This camera is waterproof and also very durable its meant to survive the elements. its quite an awesome camera I just don't use it anymore and figured there may be someone out there that would.

This is what Wikipedia has to say about it : he Weathermatic 35DL issued by Minolta in 1987 is basically the same dual-focus compact camera as the Minolta AF-DL. The difference is the watertight camera body of the Weathermatic which makes it a real camera for aquanauts, with waterproofing to 5m. The electrically driven dual focus lens is hidden behind a water-tight window and the battery compartment is sealed. A big sports finder can be mounted to ease usage under water with goggles. A button on the back of the camera enables "macro" close-ups underwater. The camera was originally supplied in a bright yellow kit bag with several accessories.
The 35 DL is solid and made from high-quality plastics. Below water, it operates in fixed-focus mode which is done as water on the front optic covering the lens makes a fixed focus filter. Above water, it utilizes an infrared active-type autofocus with a range of 2.5 ft. (0.75 m) to infinity. A focus hold feature is available. Shutter lock is indicated by a red light next to the viewfinder.

The flash is fully automatic; it cannot be turned on/off and has no adjustable settings. Film loading, transport, and rewind are also fully automatic; the camera lacks a button to rewind film in mid-roll.

Minolta makes great cameras! Is it meant to actually take underwater pictures or just safe to use in rain?
