<p>Hello, Jay,<br /> I also decided to not go back to film (much, anyway).<br /> Even with the crop factor, I am going to attempt to use my Nikonos 15mm with a Sony NEX-3, and eventually an NEX 5n, as well.<br /> And, Thank you Craig... RE: the 28mm... flange distance for Nikonos lenses.<br />Apparently, I needed to make adjustments, so that my old style 15mm will focus with my NEX-3. The rear lens segment is just too long! It goes way into the camera. (I know that the newer 15's are shorter, but I am determined to make this one work.)<br /> So, I took a soldering iron and melted away the outermost plastic (that has the electronic lens contacts on it) just where I need my lens to get closer to the shutter/ sensor. I think I am far enough in, now... for proper underwater focusing. Previously, the lens Did act as if on an extension tube.<br /> Your comment was very helpful... I will keep you all posted, here... (make a new post at some point).<br /> I am re-configuring an old Ikelite housing to accommodate my lenses... literally sawing the front off of an old Nikonos, as well... for the Nikonos mount. I found a good epoxy, that I have used on GoPro cams. Wish me luck!<br /> And, Jay, unless you want to also try your hand at 'making' your own housing, I would follow Craig's advice!<br /> <br /> And, thank you Photo.net for the forum... First time posting, -Scott.</p>
