Nikonos V Underwater Camera

So it’s the last day of school and i go in reluctantly, we have a large all school assembly to mark the leaving of 6 or so teachers. Mr. Epstein i’ll miss greatly, we tried to give him a standing ovation after his speech but i guess it didn’t turn out how we wanted it to. Dr. Dempsey has his whole school stand up before him, must be mighty proud. I go to Tiffin Boys School if you hadn’t known already.

After the whole thing i come back to school and Alex is there with a present, a cool retro bag with Nikonos on the side. It turns out to be an underwater camera so i can snap some underwater pics in Europe. This thing ways a ton, and although not an SLR is still pretty useful.

A quick search of Ebay sees it going for £460 and seeing these pictures makes me want to pawn it for some quick cash. I’m not that much of a bastard though, it should be fun. With the whole light thingy magig mounted this thing is massive. Had some fun blinding people with the flash. Had two lenses with it, a 28mm and 20mm. Pictures to come shortly.
