Top Comments of this video!! :3
I had a Nikonos underwater camera and the two lenses that you mention -- the ones for use in water and above water. I have to say that they were the most outstanding lenses I have ever used, and I've used many on a multitude of different cameras. The clarity, resolution, colour rendition, ... was absolutely superb. I suspect in part that was because of their internal simplicity. But whoever designed them should be given an award.

I subbed!! I have shot plenty of weddings, music videos and concerts on vintage lenses only! I actually bought a full frame a7ii for its low light capabilities and ran ONLY vintage glass on it, manually focusing on concerts taught me more than I'd ever like to know. None of them this weird though, the weirdest just being the Jupiter 8 a lot of people know about lol. 😅 I've been waiting to find someone like you on YouTube, you scratch some sort of niche in my brain, and I'm SO glad the algorithm has pointed me here. My only gripe is your videos aren't long enough!!

I found that buying cheap M42 or L39 helicoids a great way to adapt a lot of lenses without having to print the threads themselves. It makes using fixed focus lenses a bit more usable without having to swap on macro extension tubes.
Seems like you're all set on the modeling/printing side, but if you ever need a hand I've got a lot of Fuji X adapters and other weird stuff modeled.
Can you imagine shooting an 80mm lens by using zone focusing exclusively like on a Nikonos? The history of the camera is also worth looking into. It was conceived by the one and only Jacques Cousteau and first developed by a french brand before being sold to Nikon for further development. I got one in a craigslist bundle for a score and the whole camera is as fun and quirky as the lenses. The viewfinder is incredibly nice as well, huge and bright for use underwater with goggles.
Thanks for another interesting video!

Never thought i'd hear the sentence "To get it to focus to infinity above water"
