My uncle did some cleaning over the holidays, and he passed on his Nikonos V setup to me. I'm on the fence as to whether I should actually take it out diving, or put it on display with some shells and other artifacts. I've dabbled off and on through the past 10 years or so with B&W, and even have an (also handed down by the same uncle years ago) enlarger packed away in the attic, but never got into color...
It's almost 2016. Is anyone still shooting film underwater? I know a lot of people still do B&W film (myself included), and the hipster kids would fight to the death over their Lomo cameras, but is anyone still using it diving? If so, any suggestions? What type of film? Home develop and print (or scan) or send off for development and scanning? Or has it become so cost-prohibitive and klunky that even those who used to do everything themselves (and enjoy it) have moved over to digital?
