I came across this by accident but this is real and has a lot of potential. Andrej Belic solved the design requirements for ADAPTING RS LENSES to popular underwater Nikon body housings for DSLR bodies! The 13mm lens can now be used on Nauticam and Subal housings with Aquatica and Sea & Sea designs in the making. This adaptation required adaptors of machined aluminum to be added to the lenses including the 13mm, 28mm and the 50mm. Some of the lenses cannot be adapted to some housings so you will need to contact him to see if it can be done. Meanwhile, since the RS lenses are Nikon bayonet mounts, you can try it yourself. I have a D300 and a D800 body and I was able to connect my 13mm, 28mm and 50mm lenses to both bodies. The zoom will work too but I don't have one to test. Once attached you can see that the focus and exposure won't function but you can see that the lenses can be used. Andrej needs your RS lenses shipped to him to adapt the lens to function on Nikon DSLR bodies and he needs to know what housing you have so that he can build the appropriate housing adaptor.

Finally, an excellent use of our RS expensive optics and the results outperform existing dome optics the way Nikonos RS lenses were designed for corner to corner sharpness.
