Classic Nikonos Optics for Underwater Digital Cinema
“The best camera in the world can’t make up for poor optics.”
This mantra forges Gates’ drive toward the world’s best underwater optics. The Nikonos RS Adapter Kit is evidence, enabling the worlds finest underwater images through the use of Nikonos RS lenses on Gates Digital Cinema family of housings.
Designed by Nikon specifically for underwater use, the Nikonos RS suite of lenses – 13mm fisheye, 28mm, 50mm macro and 20-35mm zoom -- remain underwater glass par excellence. They have a convenient bayonet mount / release system, and are fully integrated to Gates housings with both focus and iris functions mapped directly to the housing controls – a genuinely innovative design. And of course the Nikonos RS Adapter Kit comes with Gates 2 year warranty and legendary service.
