The World's First Underwater SLR Camera Amazing underwater AF system. Capability of going down to a depth of 100m without special underwater housing.

Complete with R-UW AF Zoom-Nikkor 20-35mm f/2.8 the world’s first underwater zoom. The 20-35mm is the world’s first underwater zoom. Since you can't change lenses is underwater, it's the ideal choice — you stay put, and simply zoom in or out. Perfect fisheye subjects. No worrying about silt. Plus you can do in-camera cropping.

Boxed with included papers. Of the interchangeable lenses Nikon made for the Nikonos RS, the R-UW AF Micro-Nikkor 50mm f/2.8 was specially designed for close-ups underwater and allows you to keep moving closer to the subject triggering the shutter without any readjusting or measuring distance needed. This workhorse lens can focus down to 17cm which offers an image ratio of 1:1. Additionally, it is the only lens that can be used on land with the Nikonos RS to produce in-focus images. Perfect for classic close-up fish portraits, macro photography and general photography.

As is the case for the entire Nikonos range, this lens is considered to be a masterpiece of optical engineering.
