AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Up for auction: a classic, sturdy and fascinating vintage 35mm underwater camera with a historic flavor—the Calypso, produced in France by Spirotechnique starting in 1961.

The lot is in generally good condition, functional, and is complete with its original removable sunshade branded "Calypso f=35" and the strap.

Optics: The original SOM Berthiot Flor 35mm f/3.5 lens appears structurally integral, free of mold traces or deep scratches.

Mechanical: The lot has been tested and is functioning.

Aesthetics: Good overall condition of the camera body and the lens barrel, as documented by the photographs. The sturdy waterproof construction preserves a strong visual collectible appeal, free of structural dents, showing a gray faux-leather coating in very good condition and firmly attached to the chassis.

Tracked international shipping, fully insured and professionally ultra-protective packaging to ensure maximum safety during transport.
