As a dream camera I would prefer the large Hans Hass Rollei Marine optical viewing system with a Nikon RS body with the ruggedness of a Woldman- Schidt body along with digital capability coupled with the Canadian made 35MM dome port lens adaptor for the Nikonos system (can't recall its name -purchased mine over 35 years ago-$$$$!!.) I retired it a few years ago- I used it with most of tops side Nikon lens I own from the 55 mm macro for close ups to the 20 MM. With the Nikkor 20 MM it created a wider angle of coverage than my wife's 15mm Nikonos...As a result it came my lens of choice for wide angle......I used it on several occasions with the 16 mm fish eye- great depth of field! but also concurrently photographed the inside of the lens housing= not a good thing

I have has several offers for this lens housing which I refused--some day in a moment of weakness I will be talked out of it- But not in the near future
