Re: FS: Nikonos IV-A plus 2 lenses & accessories

The LW-28 mm lens is water resistant, not water proof. Nikon made it as
a "splash zone" lens to use with Nikonos bodies. So it can only be used
above water, but will give a wider view than the W 35mm, which works
both above and below water. It will mount on the II, III, IVA & V
bodies. The metering system of the IVA & V works fine with the lens.

The viewfinder on the Nikonos IVA has corner marks for the 35mm field of
view. Using the full viewfinder area approximates the 28mm view. Stopped
down to f8 or smaller, focus is pretty universal, from about 3' to
infinity.

If you're interested in just the lens, it is $300, with caps.
