AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of 2 SLR underwater housings + 2 flash housing units (Nimar & Ikelite) – For parts, restoration, or collection (Not tested)
Unique opportunity for collectors of vintage diving and photography equipment, or for technicians seeking original spare parts. This lot contains two sturdy SLR underwater housings from the top brands Nimar and Ikelite, including the corresponding underwater housings for flash units.
Note: All parts have explicitly not been tested for watertightness or operation and show cosmetic damage. No cameras or flash units included. The set is expressly sold ‘as is’ for parts or as a display model.
1. Nimar SLR Underwater Housing + Flash Housing
Product: Underwater housing for an SLR camera and a separate housing for a flash.
Condition: Not tested. For parts or collection only.
Defects: One of the shutter levers is broken. Visible corrosion on the handle (carefully review the detailed photos).
2. Ikelite SLR Underwater Housing + Flash Housing
Product: Underwater housing for an SLR camera and a separate housing for a flash.
Extras: Includes original English-language (ENG) manuals.
Condition: Not tested. For parts or collection only.
Defects: The housing has two cracks. One of the dials is damaged. (carefully review the detailed photos).
Estimated age by brand
Ikelite SLR housing: Produced from the late 1970s to the 1990s. Ikelite began with film housings in the late 1960s, but the iconic transparent plastic SLR housings with the characteristic quick-locks (lid snaps) flourished mainly in the 1980s.
Nimar SLR housing: Produced from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s. The Italian brand Nimar was founded in 1984 and only from that time began producing plastic underwater housings for analog SLRs.
Both housings therefore fall into the vintage diving equipment category from the late 20th century (mostly the 1980s or early 1990s).
