Hi,

Yes. Very interesting, indeed. Especially that last part about a digital Nikonos......

Thanks for the link!

Later!

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.

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.

Later!

Stan
