A digital Nikonos would be interesting. Have you seen http://www.divephotoguide.com/underwate ... challenge/, and http://blog.piratepro.com/? The latter company shows a prototype housing for fitting Nikonos lenses to an Olympus E-P1. Clever thinking to get there with limited resources, but a digital Nikonos built from scratch would probably be something else again.

Re: Interesting Nikon R&D manager interview
Hi,
No, I haven't seen that particular rig.
I have seen pix of the Kodak DCS 425 and 435, which were film Nikonos fitted with Kodak's innards to make a few 'specials' for the DOD.
This is what popped into my mind when I read that part in the article. Nikon does what Kodak did, but in a more modern way, of course.
That'd be pretty sweet.
