Hanimex: Amphibian 110 MF

Postby bill339 » Sun May 17, 2020 8:44 am

The Hanimex Amphibian 110 MF was made in Japan and introduced in 1983 as an underwater camera suitable for serious divers. It is shaped more like a pocket 35mm than the standard 110 camera and uses two AA batteries to power the built-in flash unit and motor drive. The camera has a 20mm (f4.0), fixed-focus lens, Single shutter speed of 1/125 of a second, two aperture settings with icons for sunny/cloudy/flash, shutter release lock, over-sized knobs in a bright yellow covering, and waterproof to 45 meters (150 feet). When you open the camera you are reminded to “Check O-ring surface for scratches, dust, etc. and grease before closing”. The 35mm Hanimex Amphibian (1983) uses a very similar body and it is a rebranded Sea & Sea Motormarine 35 SE (1981) and the Hanimex Amphibian 110 MF (1983) is a rebranded Sea & Sea Pocketmarine 110 (1981). The original price of the camera was $150.00 in 1985 according to the bill of sale that came in the box for the camera.
