A watertight body (10) having a first (1a) and a second (1b) body shell of rigid polymer material that can be joined together for accommodating a photographic camera (11) is designed such that, using a multiple-component injection moulding process, a sealing means (2) comprising elastic polymer material is moulded on an edge (2a) of at least one body shell (1a, 1b) that forms the joint, and a covering means (3) is moulded on surface areas of said body shells and is connected to the body shell by chain looping of the polymer materials. The result is that the body is reliably sealed against water and is nevertheless inexpensive and simple to manufacture. For a simple and correspondingly inexpensive recyclability of the body, the body shells (1a, 1b) can be crushed without separation of the polymer materials using known devices, with the resultant material mix being usable as an admixture for the manufacture of new camera components.
