Well, Nikonos cameras have finders that are separate
from the taking lens, as do Leicas. Leica does not
currently make UW housings for their cameras--I'm not
sure they ever did. With that being the case, (and the
ziplock freezer bag "housing" I tried with my Mint,
black paint, M4 failing miserably in the deep end at
the local YMCA...), Nikonos are the best choice for
advanced underwater photography. As seems to be
evident by the number of postings on the subject, many
LUGgers own one or are interested in owning one in
addition to their Leica gear--which they cherish above
all others.  The maintenance information given on this
forum regarding the Nikonos was of paramount
importance, (I can attest to the fresh water rinse
after each use, and annual or semi-annual overhauls). 
One is not forced to read the postings if one does not
like the subject header/thread.

Cheers,

Patrick
