medium format underwater photography

[Paolo]

Hello everybody,
I would like to use my Bronica ETRsi for underwater photography.
Does anyone have experience with medium format underwater photography?
Any good website? Any newsgroup on the subject?
Any help greatly appreciated,
Paolo

Paolo:

You might try posting your question on: alt.binaries.images.underwater

It's a good newsgroup for underwater photo folks.

I know there are manufacturers of U/W video housings for medium format
cameras but I'm not sure who would make one for the Bronica. Try also
posting on rec.scuba.equipment and rec.photo.medium-format.

Yeah, I used to use a Hassy ELM with a homemade housing and an A-24 back. Id
set the app at f11 and focus for 3ft on a 40mm lens This pretty much covered
the focal range, I'd set my speed according to the depth I'd dive and the
visibility conditions for the ambient light. I also housed two White
Lightnings(I glass beaded the front of the housing for diffusion kinda like an
underwater soft box) and would have assistants position them according to my
meterings (I bagged a Minolta Flashmeter in a freezer bag. I used one small
Ikelight strobe on the housing pointed at the closest strobe to trigger the
slaves. By now I'm sure someone makes a commercial housing for your ETRsi (I
always liked that camera for weddings and races with that speed grip Nice 250
lens available for it) but back then people looked at me funny when I asked
about one. Medium format is a heck of an improover 35mm even if you're only
going 645
