Professional Camera Store's Recommendation

The Nikon Nikonos II is a classic amphibious 35mm camera that can be used underwater to a depth of 50 meters without a separate housing. Introduced in 1968, it continued the design lineage that began with the Calypso camera and became the original Nikonos, and it established Nikon's reputation in underwater photography. It is paired here with the versatile W-Nikkor 35mm f/2.5.

The Nikonos II is fully mechanical and requires no batteries. Exposure is set manually, so photographers typically use an external light meter or a simple exposure guide. This simplicity is part of its appeal, and it makes the camera very dependable in demanding environments.

The rugged, sealed body is built to resist water, sand, and harsh weather. The large, straightforward controls are easy to operate, even with wet hands, and the design is compact enough to carry on snorkeling trips, beach outings, and boat excursions.

The W-Nikkor 35mm f/2.5 is an amphibious lens that can be used both underwater and on land, making the outfit useful far beyond diving. Its bright f/2.5 aperture and natural field of view on land make it a practical everyday lens.

This camera is ideal for snorkeling, shallow diving, surfing, kayaking, rainy-day street photography, and any outdoor activity where an ordinary camera would be at risk. Its scale focusing encourages zone focusing, which is fast and effective for action.

The camera accepts Nikonos-mount lenses such as the W-Nikkor 35mm f/2.5 and the 80mm f/4. Its classic design and mechanical operation make it an easy camera to understand and maintain over time.

Vintage Nikonos cameras are valued by collectors and adventurers alike for their unique amphibious design and robust build. They offer an authentic way to experience film photography in and around the water.

If you are looking for a classic, fully mechanical underwater camera with an amphibious lens, the Nikon Nikonos II with W-Nikkor 35mm f/2.5 is a distinctive and rewarding choice.
