Underwater Photography reviews the
Sea & Sea Motormarine MM-III
The Sea & Sea MM-III underwater camera might not only be the replacement for the Motormarine II but, now that the Nikonos is discontinued, perhaps will challenge for number one film camera too!
The MM-III has a nice chunky feel and a new gunmetal finish. It’s still plastic though, so is nowhere near as bullet-proof as the Nikonos.
In all other respects it is a competitor. The controls fall nicely to hand and, for the first time on the Motormarine, there is a LCD to give positive indication of battery power, frame counter, shutter speed etc.
What else is new? Well, for starters, there’s now a 20mm lens built-in. The previous Motormarine had a 35mm, which is not the easiest lens for anyone to use so this is good news.
There is a new range of supplementary lens to further enhance your options. This includes two macro lenses, a 15mm wide angle, and a fish-eye.
Also new is a built-in target light. Handy for Autofocus (but this is not an AF camera).
