The Nikonos V is like tying a brick to a point-and-shoot as far as surface shots go. The standard 35 mm lens is pretty crappy and gives flat flat flat images in and out of the water. And it's heavy. The only thing I ever use the 35 for is UW macro, where it performs quite well. (I only use it at night - during the day I use a housed system for macro.) Of you want decent UW shots with the Nikonos other than macro, you've gotta use the 15 or 20 mm lenses. These, with finder, end up being more than the body.
