Nikonos iii underwater use

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:




Servicing Only NIKONOS Equipment

Southern Nikonos

Houston, Texas 77080
(713) 462-5436
FAX (713) 462-5449

Email nikonosrepair@aol.com​

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

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.
