Paul,
Good to see you here!
The rEvoDream I bought from you in 2010 still works fine!

Regarding your 15mm UW Nikkor: In the book «The Nikonos Handbook» by Jim Church, there is detailed instructions on how to diassemble the lens. The challenge may be to loosen the small grub screws on the aperture and focus knobs. These may be frozen due to corrosion between the aluminium knobs and the stainless steel grub screws. There has been suggested to use a soldering iron to gently heat the knob. Aluminium have a high thermal expansion factor, and this may help loosening the grub screws.

hi Ole, all is fine with diving? :-)

I'm waiting to hear from Nauticam, might be that there is an offset error in the mounting plate...

will keep updated

Hi!

Happy to find this site which discusses exactly what I am after :) I have the exact same problem with Nauticam housing, Nikonos 15mm and the Nauticam adapter.

Did anyone find out how to make the necessary adjustments to let the lens focus a bit farther out?
