This is a test roll shot through a recently acquired Nikon Nikonos IVa meant to accompany me on my next swimming trip. I had to check if everything was working, sans testing whether the camera was sufficiently watertight, as I did not want to risk it yet. When I scanned the roll I was pleasantly surprised by how sharp the images came out. There is no way to check the focus during shooting as it is a camera without a rangefinder. This gives me some confidence that this wonderful piece of kit will fulfill its purpose splendidly.
