Underwater Photos

Photos taken underwater using a Nikonos-V film camera in the Caribbean. Nikonos cameras were developed by Nikon from the Calypso camera, originally design by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and the Belgian engineer Jean de Wouters . In their time, Nikonos cameras were the best professional underwater cameras available, and the 15mm f/2-8 underwater lens was a masterpiece of wide-angle lens design.

Nikonos cameras are still sold and used by underwater photographers, even though no digital version was ever created.
