THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT.
My first love is B&W underwater photography. Until now I have been using my housed Nikon N90 and a Nikons III with a 15mm lens. I really like these systems but in my opinion there is no comparison between working with a 35 neg and 6x4.5 neg. The other day I received my new housing for the Contax 645. It is exciting to finally have the camera and lens, the Zeiss 35mm, underwater. Probably like may other medium format shooters who also dive I was frustrated by not being able to take my favorite system from topside into the silent world.
I just thought I'd share my experience in case there was another photographer who shared the same passion as I.
If you want to see photos I have posted them here:

Do you have photographs that you've made underwater using it yet? I hope you'll share those. You might also try the search function to see if there are threads regarding underwater photography that would be of interest.

And, please, introduce yourself... there's an area in the forums for that. Your website does not look to be selling the underwater housing, but this post reads a little like spam. Welcome. Explore the site, and ask some questions.

Thanks for the advice. I'll post some photos once I get some time in the darkroom.
