Look what came in the mail today. Dog, what is it? It's a Nikonos V underwater camera. Hold the fort amigo, it ain't a digicam. I know, she's an old school 35mm rangefinder and right now she's in my bathtub undergoing sea trials with my wife. [Sorry no pics available.]
I can finally take those up close surf and sailing shots that I have always wanted to, Papa has got a new (old) camera. I can't wait to take her out into the surf zone.
