The 35mm is the only Nikonos lens that you can use under and out of water.

The 80mm Nikonos lens can also be used under and out of water.

The 28mm Nikonos lenses are only to be used underwater, never out of water.

The 28mm f/3.5 UW-Nikkor can only be used underwater.

The 28mm f/2.8 LW-Nikkor can only be used above water.

Just got back from using my Nikonos in a snow storm; the perfect camera for those conditions. It was pretty wet when I got back home. I was not that keen on getting my brand new F6 wet.

Yes, great in rainstorms too. I've used mine while white water rafting, parasailing above water, and the beach, in surf, in the pool, dirty places, etc. It's a wonderful 35mm sharp lens and the whole camera is so protected but heavy. Makes a good paperweight in the wind too.

I want to add back on the strap lug to my Nikonos II. I found:

Houston, Texas 77080

However the telephone is now disconnected. Probably a COVID-19 victim.

So does anyone have a Nikonos strap lug that they can sell to me?

Have you tried the strap makers?

Sirius Glass · Dec 1, 2020

I need the lug. The strap I can find anywhere.

I remember that there was at least one strap manufacturer that offered different "lugs" you can buy separately.

You might try “narcosis101” on eBay. I haven’t bought anything from him yet, but he specializes in Nikonos stuff.

Thank you. He is in North Hollywood. He has wrist straps. I sent him a message.
