Film seems popular right now, and there are some stalwarts still making nice pictures with these. I’d rather adapt the lenses to digital rather than muck around with film. They are/were lovely cameras. There a guy named Elie aka Narcosis101 on Instagram that buys, sells and fixes all things Nikonos. Maybe try reaching out to him. He’s overhauled a couple of Nikonos bodies, pressure tested them and some lenses. Also has an eBay store. He’s in California. Craig

Only accidentally. Quickly remedied.

I’ve forgotten to turn them on.

Your process seems pretty good. I would think trying to be ruthless at the front end of editing is the key to not being overloaded with rubbish. Your website looks great, by the way. Like Chris I toss out the clearly bad, out-of-focus, poorly composed or lighted images. I’ll keep a bad image if it’s a record shot of something I haven’t seen. I try to winnow down near duplicates, too. I use Lightroom storage, and images and videos are filed in folders by date, and key-worded by location and subject. I still have not tackled decades of film and slides. Sigh. One day.

No doubt it’s a big job. But if anyone can do it, you da man Dave.

Lovely if true. About damn time.

If @Dave_Hicks can make you one, I’d be inclined to go there. I just use the 1st version foam collar, and Stix floats on my arms (I have really skinny arms). Another thing that looks interesting is Marelux’s adjustable float bag: MareluxFlexibuoyFlexibuoy cheers. Craig

Aloha and welcome!

Nicely done Ben! Lovely work.

Howdy and aloha! That RS system was something, especially that 13mm.

Aloha y bienvenidos Jose Alejandro!

Aloha and welcome @ghost1 Former Free Press photographer here. Give my regards to Detroit.

Aloha and welcome!

Christoph: I think shooting existing light with the 14-35 sounds fine for human subjects in pristine water. If you do end up photographing reef scenes and larger subjects, fisheyes and super wides are the way to go. And if you end up doing portraits of small fish and macro subjects, you won’t go wrong with a proper macro like the RF 100. I was a topside photographer more than 40 years ago with Canon FD equipment (Nikon was king then), and what I’ve found is start with what you’re comfortable with, and then go much, much wider. My favorite 24mm is a telephoto underwater!

Aloha and welcome Christoph!

Aloha and welcome David!

Aloha and welcome Stephen!

Aloha and welcome brah! I’m over in Oahu. Also keep an eye on @jayseaphotos and @scubakateb on Instagram. They live Kona side. Jaycee is also on this forum as @JayceeB

Thanks @Chris Ross

Prescription Dive Masks is good but pricey. I had bifocals done, but it turns out that they don’t work so well for middle distance things on a reef. Close up lenses are fine. Next time I’ll put in close up lenses and give up sharp distance vision. I also tried this flip up/down holder, which was a fail. IMG_0128.HEIC IMG_0129.HEIC
