Cp111,
This is really exciting news! Any chance you can show a side-by-side pic of the Nikonos V + 15mm U/W Nikkor next to the Nauticam Nex-5 + 15mm U/W Nikkor? (I'd like to get some idea of relative sizes.)
Thanks,
Ronald
The only problem is that with the cropped sensor it will not look like the 15 shot on film but more like a 24 mm lens. Still impressive, but not near as wide.well, now I'm worked up.
I like the idea of using my nikonos 15mm on w digital u/w camera.
I don't have a Nikonos V to shoot next to it... but I can give you the dimensions of the NEX-5 housing:
Dimensions: 164mm (W) X 83mm (T) X 118mm (H)
It's quite small, only a tad larger than the most compact P&S housings.
Cheers,
Cp
In inches that's 6.46 x 3.27 x 4.65.
Nik V body only is 5.75W x 3.75H x 2.00D.

I had the chance of testing this lens underwater with the Nex-5 camera and housing briefly in August last year, while I was still learning how to use the camera, and a first time user of Nikonos lens.
