Sea & Sea 20mm f3.5 Lens

[Steve Bellayr]

Anyone have experience with the Sea & Sea 20mm f3.5 underwater lens? I picked one up with a viewfinder. All I know is that it can only be used under water and fits(?) the Nikonos series cameras. I have searched the internet and come up with nothing.

Unfortunately I do not read German but it illustrates the problem about finding information on this lens.

Fortunately most of us use automated translators in such cases. I did not use one here as you might prefer one of your choice. I use the Google one.
Anyway, the critique at this thread was very positive of the Sea&Sea lens.

But we got a few underwater photographers here too, they might chime in.

I only have the lenses that can be used above water too, the f/2.5 35mm and the f/4 80m lens.

Now you did it! You made me buy the 28mm lens!

Sirius, the OP inquired on the Sea&Sea lens, that he already got. I find your listings interesting and shall file them, but they are not helpful in this case.
Unless I am slow on the uptake again...

I found that there is not a lot of information available about the Nikonos lenses so I was sharing what little I have found. On the other hand, he pushed me over the edge and made me buy another lens.
