Now the question of cameras is on the table, have any had
experience with telephoto lenses on waterproof cameras?  I often
wish for a quality 80-90 mm lens rather than the standard 32-38
mm ones available on most WP equipment.  The Nikonos is the best
quality (arguably not markedly superior to the now-defunct Action
Touch).  Anyone know how well the Nikonos 80 works in atmospheric
conditions?  Or is this exclusively an underwater lens?  The zoom
lens on point-and-shoot cameras seem to sacrifice a good deal of
resolution for convenience.  Any suggestions appreciated.
