cdiver2; ScubaBOBuba; Chris Bangs, thank you for the compliments pertaining to my gallery. The Nikonos has treated me well and continues to do so. Several fine photographers in the So.Fla.U/W Photographic Society that have converted to digital still use the NikV and 15mm for wide angle.PS I noticed a comment or 2 about the Nik.ext tubes. FWIW Mine are used with a 35mm and contain 2:1,1:1,1:2 framers/tubes as standard. If you care to measure your tubes you will see the red dot is 35mm which is 1:1, the yellow dot is 17.5mm which is 1:2-as the reproduction formula calls for-however when you combine them (red/yellow = 52.5mm)the bracket indicates 2:1. If it was truly 2:1 then the correct extension should be 2x the focal length which is 70mm-I think we have all been hosed!! Just an observation, your results may vary, Wayne
