Abstract

The invention relates to a photographic camera with a watertight body for receiving a film transport and film guidance unit, an object lens (13) and a viewfinder unit. Weatheproofing and watertightness are achieved in that the body comprises two body shells whose parting line formed in the assembled state is sealed by an all-round sealing means designed as an elastic endless weatherstrip visible from the outside.
