Hello everyone!
I've been looking for wide angle lens options for my Nikonos V this week and would appreciate any comments. Initially I was primarily interested in the Nikonos 15mm but then I ran across a deal on this Aquatica Aqualens set-up from Helix.
I've searched this board's archives and can't find much information on the Aquatica Aqualens system for the Nikonos cameras. What it looks like is a housing that fits on the waterproof Nikonos bayonet mount. This allows you to put regular Nikon lenses inside a 6" dome port ie. 16mm fisheye, 20mm, etc. You have a custon gear setup to work the aperature & focus.
Is this a viable system? Is there a high flood risk with this thing? Does anyone have experience with this setup? Will the TTL and light meter on my Nikonos V work with this housing?
Thanks!
