Description
First production in 1975. The Nikonos III amphibious camera is built to go with you wherever your imagination leads you. Under-water, it performs at depths down to 50m (160 feet) without a bulky accessory housing. On land, it takes rain, snow, dust, dirt and salt water in stride. If you can take it, so can the Nikonos III.
Despite its rugged construction, the Nikons III is as sleek and compact as other 35mm cameras. Precision engineering and superior Nikkor optics deliver perfect images in places where other cameras wouldn’t dare to venture. And when you’ve finished your shooting session, just rinse the Nikonos in tap water and it’s ready for the next assignment. To get the best results from your camera, read these instructions carefully and practice using the controls before you load any film in the camera.

Please note that the following important points when you see our grading description. When applied to lenses it means that the optics are in perfect condition. What we are describing is the cosmetic condition of the lens barrel. When it applies to cameras, motor drives, speedlights etc. the understanding is that the item is in perfect working order and the description would mean the exterior appearance. In other words we are judging cosmetic appearance.
