Will a Nikonos Mount on a Regular Nikon Body?

I searched and didn't see it covered here before, also looked on the net and didn't see a straight answer about it.

Yeah I know there may be an aberation with photos shot through the lens without it being underwater and I know that there are the extra Orings on the mount area but just wondered if the underwater lenses would mount on a regular body.

Hey may be handy in bad weather conditions!

I have a Nikonos II and have owned Nikonos I's II's and III's and no the lenses will not mount on Nikon SLR bodies, the Nikonos lenses are just on a twist mount, the pressure against the O ring keeps the lens in place along with making it water proof.

Thanks, I didn't think that they would but couldn't find a straight answer anywhere on line.
