Wow! A shark-proof Ziploc! Film? Dunno. Anything tolerant of salt water, I guess.

Thanks. I want film that will give me the best color and also a b&w film with the best tonality.

Sigh..... No one can help me?

Ok, I'll stop now. It is April 2nd now after all....

Well, I was going to suggest Kodachrome. And since you're going to be diving, maybe some Efke 25 for the low light conditions.

I think they coulda done better than a zip lock bag.

For black and white I'd go Tri-x or HP5 for sure under water. In the bright sunshine above water FP4.

I thought, "This guy better be kidding." Then I saw his April 2nd comment, and figured Kodachrome fit the bill just right.

Holga is built to leak. Why would you want to change that?

Treat the Holga as a single-use camera. Shoot Tmax 400 in it, and dispense with the housing. Just remember to keep the film wet until you can process it. Could be interesting!

Ha! Might be worth trying!

Forget the housing. That way, you can shoot and pre-soak at the same time. Could save a lot of darkroom time.:confused:

And if you shoot color neg, you'd be doing the Sea-41 process
