Our editorial take on the Nikon 35mm f/2.5 NIKKOR-W Underwater and Above-Water Lens for Nikonos Mount, Chrome

The Nikon 35mm f/2.5 NIKKOR-W is a legacy Nikonos-mount lens designed for both underwater and above-water shooting, primarily for use with Nikonos film cameras. This compact prime offers a moderately wide field of view and an f/2.5 maximum aperture, making it a versatile option for divers and surf photographers who shot film. The chrome finish and robust build were hallmarks of the Nikonos system, which was purpose-built for harsh marine environments.

Today, this lens is a niche collectible or functional tool for photographers still shooting Nikonos film bodies. The used market is the primary source, and condition varies widely. At around $71, it represents an entry point into the Nikonos ecosystem for enthusiasts or a backup for those already invested in the system. It won't interface with modern digital bodies without significant adaptation, and its value is tied closely to the continued use of Nikonos film cameras.

Best for: Film photographers still shooting with Nikonos bodies, especially those doing underwater or surf photography.
What's great
  • Dual underwater and above-water capability for Nikonos systems
  • Compact 35mm focal length with f/2.5 maximum aperture
  • Built for durability in marine environments
Watch outs
  • Legacy Nikonos mount, incompatible with modern digital cameras
  • Used market only, condition and availability vary
