   The 35mm lens is great for macro work using extension tubes/_frame_rs. That's about all it's good for though.  The Nikonos V's strengths are macro work, and wide angle photography. Joel, My advice is to get a Nikonos 28 mm lens and the extension tubes and _frame_rs set MCD makes for it. (MCD is in San Diego, CA, 619/481-0604.)  The 28 mm lens, which is  U/W-only, is much sharper and has more depth of field than the 35.  As a wide-angle lens, it does nice people portraits with even a small strobe like an Ikelite MV.  You will never outgrow it, and it is well worth the extra $ over a 35. Also consider adding a Nikonos close-up kit.  This is great for fish portraits and lots of warm water subjects, and can be removed underwater for 28 mm wide angle shots when a barracuda swims by. Someone in my U/W photo club is selling a good used set for $150. Good luck! Dee.

I just bought a 7mm Wet Suit and have been diving in 53 degree waters around the Puget Sound area. I have yet to be cold in this type of suit except when sitting on the bottom waiting for my turn to flood my mask etc. during my open water training.  I hear the water temp may go down into the mid 40's during the winter months.  Do you have any predictions at what point I will start feeling the cold and become uncomfortable? Spine pad?
