Does anyone know any more about this camera????


Aquascan Panoramic Underwater
Camera

This is an example of the very rare species of underwater
panoramic cameras. It sports a state of the art Leitz
Elcan lens in its slit-scan shutter. The body, too, is
extremely well made (by Photogrammetry in Maryland)
and the mechanical action is easy to understand and fun
to watch.
Exposure is triggered by a magnet in the pistol grip.
Scanning and film advance are powered by two electric
motors. All the mechanical action inside the camera is
coordinated by cams and wheels and chains that hit
switches.
There were about 20 of these cameras made. Ours is
Serial Number 10 and the price is $ 3150
