Very interesting: http://gizmodo.com/5532611/the-secret-behind-the-mysterious-digital-nikonos-camera AniRaptor2001 ( talk) 16:49, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
What happened to all the images in this article? Ehn 19:35, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- Long story -- I used other people's images to create the montages, and I dutifully got permission to use the images, but I didn't get explicit confirmation that the owners actually owned the images. The light-meter has cleared, and the Nikonos II will probably clear. The light meter is rare, and in this case well photographed, so that was the more important of the two.-- John Bessa ( talk) 15:07, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
Could the Nikonos mount standard Nikon lenses of the period, for use above water? - Ashley Pomeroy 18:12, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- I believe the answer is yes, but I can't recall the citation.
- -hh ( talk) 16:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- Impossible w/o an adapter; two totally different types of lenses. You might want to look at material I removed: Digital Nikonos Industry Design Challenge. I removed it because it never came to fruition, though it looked like a nice attempt! (Also a little off-topic.)-- John Bessa ( talk) 00:48, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
Does anyone know of an online resource which describes focus and aperture settings recommended with the Nikonos (I through V) extension tubes? Would a sentence and citation about this improve the utility of this article? Also, relative to the framer, which part of the subject will be in sharpest focus...its proximal ( defined) end, its distal ( defined) end, or into the subject, at a depth about equal to the framer's width? Does aperture profoundly affect this? I can imagine it may be hard to answer these questions within the guidelines. Newportm ( talk) 04:09, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
- Actually I think that it would violate the "how-to" rule; this is an encyclopedia and not a how-to site. This isn't a show-stopper however because you can create a similar page on the |Wikiversity and direct people there. Wikiversity is conceived of as a school version of the WP.-- John Bessa ( talk) 15:50, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
It would be really interesting to understand and relate why UW is better than amphibious underwater. Increased diffraction of light plays a role and that the lenses are "anigstigmat" in relation to this, but I have no other knowledge. One of the sources says "saturation," and early underwater photos lacked exactly that, so I wonder if the glass content and coating are working her in some complex way.

Note: it may make sense to put of the Calypso innovations that defined the Nikonos here, and even merge the pages
Calypso (1961/1962)
- The shutter is cocked when the advance lever is pushed back to the "ready position"
- Original lens for the Calypso was a 35mm f3.5 Som-Berthiot with a "filter" protecting it from water.
- Sealskin trim
- Mfg by the French bottled gas company that absorbed Cousteau's aqua lung invention to ultimately become Aqua Lung America, and possibly US Divers
Nikonos I (1963)
- 35mm f2.5
- Plastic coating
Nikonos II (1968)
- Rewind crank replaced knob
- Flash capability
- Improved distance and depth of field frames on lenses
Nikonos III (1975)
- Enlarged controls
- Bright frames for 35mm and 80mm
- Parallax marks for distances below 80cm
- Film exposure counter on top
- Three-pin flash terminal
- Lever can be used with short strokes
- Internal improvements
- Lens mount no longer part of chassis
There were Ektacolor Type S and Type L, the C-22 predecessors to Vericolor Type S and Type L. There is no article page for either Ektacolor or Vericolor, but there should be (at least) one. If one meant Ektacolor-S instead of Ektacolor-X, change the link as appropriate. Ektacolora and Vericolor are negative films similar to Kodacolor. Gah4 ( talk) 23:31, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
