Hello,
the OLD style is a good 1" longer than the NEW style. The OLD style will stick into the body of the camera covering the meter hole on the bottom of the camera thus rendering it unusable. The NEW style fits like the other lens, the 80mm, 35mm, 28mm and 20mm.

Hello,
Forgot to mention 2 things:
1) Welcome to scubaboard!
2) the NEW style is designated with an N, i.e. 15/2.8N

Welcome to the Board!
What kind of camera set-up do you have? Care to share some photos?

A couple years ago I switched to an Olympus C-4040 in an Olympus PT-10 housing. I also use a S&S YS90DX strobe and S&S 20mm WA lens.
I really enjoy the smaller overall package of the digital....unless I get carried away again with spider arms and dual strobes.

Both will work.
The old style was produced for the Nikonos IV, prior to TTL in the Nik V. You can actually use the old style in the Nik V, but just won't have TTL.
Then again if you are going to spend that large sum of cash, better get the real one. Helix sells them on Ebay from time to time and they are a Super lens!

Digital does not have the dynamic range yet nor does it hold up well in high contrast situations like shooting upwards towards the sun to get Sunballs and Lightrays.
