Nikonos V 35mm Underwater Camera with Nikkor 35mm f/2.5 Lens

The Nikonos V is one of the toughest and most distinctive 35mm film cameras ever produced. Originally designed for underwater photography, sailing, expedition travel, and harsh environments, the Nikonos V became legendary for its rugged construction, dependable operation, and ability to go places most cameras simply could not.

Even today, many photographers seek out the Nikonos V not for diving, but because it makes an exceptionally durable everyday film camera. Its compact size, robust construction, and sharp Nikkor 35mm f/2.5 lens make it equally at home on hiking trails, in canoes, on sailboats, at the beach, or anywhere a traditional camera might be at risk.

This example is in Excellent Plus condition and presents beautifully. The body shows only light signs of careful use, with clean armour, crisp engravings, smooth controls, and a bright, clear viewfinder. The included Nikkor 35mm f/2.5 lens is equally clean, with clear optics free from haze, fungus, or separation.
