Nikon UW (and W) Lens Diagrams

Mostly likely from user manuals or sales brochures.

I have all the R-UW ones but am looking for any W or UW ones.
Specifically the Nikon UW-Nikkor 20mm f/2.8

I use these to verify when I find a patent that matches a production lens.

For example the Nikon R-UW AF Nikkor 28mm f/2.8

I cannot help, since I do not use Nikkor UW lenses. In case you do not get response here, you could try to post in Wetpixel, several users that use such lenses are posting there...

You could also try to get the documentation from Seacam - they modify such Nikkor UW lenses so that they can be used on the modern digital Nikon cameras...

Thanks for the ideas.

There's quite a bit of information including figures at Optics for Nikonos

Unfortunately I suspect some of these drawings are recreated from patents so using them as confirmation would be sort of circular. I'll see if I can get more definitive information.

Regards
