Having recently returned from a trip to the warmer climate of the
Caribbean, I've decided to acquire a 35mm camera suitable for use in
shallow snorkelling. Most of the dealers in the Pacific Northwest seem
to carry two models, the Nikonos V (of course), and the Hanimatic (?sp,
it is the bright yellow one, even if I did butcher its name). Other
than camera quality, the principal difference between the two seems to
be price. I don't have the opportunity to make more than 1 or 2 warm
water snorkelling trips per year, so I'm not sure if I can justify the
Nikonos to myself (or my wife). Any recommendations you can make
regarding the above two models, or other models, would be greatly
appreciated. As always, I'll post a summary of the responses to this
news groupin a week or so.
Thanks in advance,
