Aloha Livin' - The Nikonos V

















I recently picked up a new (well new to me) 35mm camera that can completely go under water, get wet, survive the sand/beaches of Hawaii. It's called a Nikonos V and it has a 35mm 2.4 lens on it. On ground, it is a relatively wide angle lens but put it under water and it acts more like a normal 50mm lens. It was seriously so so cheap compared to say an underwater housing for any other camera or even an underwater housing for my iphone! I think I paid $89 for it :).

These were shot on Ektar 100 dev/scan by theFINDlab.

Me too! The color and contrast are just awesome. Can you please let us know how do you rate Ektar 100 to achieve this vibrant (yet not overly saturated) color and contrast? Love the hint of redness on the skin without overdoing it. Thanks!
