Dave,

I can probably dig one out, I'll have a look this weekend. A few years ago,
I was given a couple of the cameras by the company, with the mission of
shooting pictures for their marketing. Never managed to pull of one decent
picture with them, but you may be luckier or better :-)

The housing requires little maintenance. Basically, the company recommends
giving it a good wipe now and then, and inserting little silica gel packets
to keep the odd droplet from getting in the way.

As I recall, the camera operates on a fixed speed and a fixed F-stop, and
they recommend you using 200 ISO print film. All I can say is, to get a
decent picture, I would recommend not trying to take a picture if the
visibility is less than about 100 yards :-)

Bjorn
