The housing can be used on small boats, in the surf, while swimming, snorkeling or diving. It’s easy to operate the camera as its various components and buttons can be operated through the PVC. With this housing, a whole new world of applications opens up for your digital camera. Inside the housing you can now take the camera safely canoeing, snorkeling or even diving, up to a depth of 30 m / 100 ft. Please note: We recommend the use of a mounted flash for diving. The D-AX housing is the perfect solution in this case. Experienced photographers have confirmed, that the auto focus and flash both continue to function perfectly. As you descend, the air is pressed into the camera. Due to this, the pressure inside the housing will remain the same as the surrounding water pressure (this is the reason why ewa-marine housings are so safe to use: implosions are impossible). Due to this, we have to start the dive with a suitable amount of air inside the housing. The foam pads supplied with the housing are part of this air “reservoir” and additional air should also be blown into the housing, via the valve at the rear, to ensure that the maximum potential volume is being utilised. The D-A housing is manufactured from double laminated PVC and has an integrated, optically neutral flat glass port. The flip-up, internal flash, that can be found on some models will fit into the specially designed section on the top of the housing, allowing its use above and under water. It has a pair of non-corrosive and seawater resistant clamping rails which fit together for perfect sealing. They tighten by means of three screw knobs. It is supplied in a handy yellow carry-case which has a water-proof interior and zippered side-pocket. Dimensions: length 12 – 17 cm ( 4 3/4 – 6 2/3 inches ) width 15 cm ( 5 9/10 inches ) height 13.5 cm ( 5 1/3 inches ) position of view finder 75 mm ( 2 15/16 inches ) weight 350 g ( 0.75 lb ) Item Includes yellow carry-case which has a water-proof interior and zippered side-pocket – manual for ewa-marine SLR-photo housings – initial supply of CD5 – specially profiled foam padding – AV110 autofocus adapter.

Synopsis: Prehistoric Women (1950 – 72 minutes, color) A prehistoric tribe of women, who have been trained to hunt and fight, are given the task of capturing husbands before the next full moon by their elder (Janerre Scott). Tigri (Laurette Luez), a natural born leader, captures handsome cave-dweller Engor (Allan Nixon), but her rival Arva (Mara Lynn) tries to claim him as her own. Tigri prevails but then Engor unexpectedly and accidentally discovers how to make fire. Recaptured by the all-female tribe, Engor and his love-slave cohorts wind up saving the day when the tribe is threatened by an eight-foot-tall giant. Realizing the value of the opposite sex and impressed with their skill to make fire, the women invite the men to cohabitate with them, and Tigri is wed to masculine hero Engor. Call of the Yukon (1938 – 70 minutes, B&W) In search of material, writer jean Williams (Beverly Roberts) visits Topek village, an Eskimo settlement that is abandoned each winter due to harsh weather and a vicious wolf pack that comes into town in search of food. The villagers leave the settlement by boat, which is commandeered by Hugo (Lyle Talbot), a white trader that tries to persuade Jean to leave with them. Unconvinced, she stays behind with trapper Gaston Rogers (Richard Arlen) until diminishing conditions force them to leave. Misfortune soon turns to disaster when an ice break causes them to lose their dogs and sled. Luckily, the pair makes it to the safety of a deserted cabin, where they are joined by Hugo. Although the trio is safe from the elements, danger develops indoors when the two men vie for Jeans affection, and a perilous fight breaks out between them. Scott of the Antarctic (1948 – 114 minutes, color) This is the treacherous and true tale of a disastrous expedition to the then-uncharted South Pole. Head of the team, British captain Robert Falcon Scott (John Mills), makes several unfortunate choices that have dire outcomes, including the decision to add a fifth man to the expedition when they had only stocked enough provisions for four. Without proper planning or adequate supplies, the group treks across the frozen frontier where they meet with dangerously cold temperatures and a rival team of Norwegians that are also hoping to be the first to make it to the Earths southern axis. Crashing Thru (1938 – 55 minutes, B&W) Royal Mountie Sergeant Renfrew (James Newill) is on the trail of six thieves, who robbed a shipment of gold from the Harrington mining company. When Renfrews sidekick Kelly is wounded by a gunshot, the sergeant is forced to go it alone. Meanwhile, a powder keg is set to ignite among the gold thieves when three of them attempt to double-cross the others. But before the duped robbers can get even with their former partners, Renfrew will rightfully bring them all to justice.
