Get the Nikonos V and have the best version available to you. My Nikonos II needed a shutter repair, the parts are not available and the shop told me to go to eBay and get the Nikonos V body and use the lens that I had.
Hello all!
Looking at getting a Nikonos camera for vacation.
I was inspired by this post!

My question is should I get the Nikonos iii or the V? I realized I probably need to get a dedicated rugged camera with manual features so I don't ruin my other nice gear on the beach.
I also thought about the Canon Sure Shot WP1 but realized that is more of a point and shoot. I think I would like the manual and mechanical feeling of a Nikonos
UPDATE: what would be a good price to pay for this? I don’t want to overpay? Looking for the kit with the 35 mm lens.
These pictures are fantastic! Thanks for sharing
Last time I went to Tahiti, I took only one camera with me since it was a family holiday. That camera was a Nikonos III with 35/2.5 lens. I used it above water, in the water, and under water for casual shots. And the photos turned out nicely even if I have to guess distance and exposure.
I used to have Nikonos V, but eventually decided I like the Calypso-styled III more. I don't do deep dive stuff.
It's a little off topic because this is the 35mm forum but I have a number of Minolta Weathermatic A cameras with all of the accessories. They are nice to use. The only drawback is that they take 110 film.

I got a V. Now I just need to fine the correct grease and o rings

I learned the art of using a camera at the age of six with my Dad's Nikonos I. Because of that I learned very early on how to expose, how to use a light meter, what depth of field was, how to leverage the hyperfocal distance, and to an extent how to gauge the distance to a subject. Of course, being six, it really helped that the Nikonos was fairly bomb-proof…
I used to have a couple of Nikonos V, an orange one and an olive one. I wonder why they don't make the same in digital. Sure they have some P&S but they are P&S and can't do very deep. Serious underwater photos are done with enclosures.
