Lens recommendation for Underwater use?
Feb 7, 2013 10:56:22 #
I just upgraded from a Nikon D200 to a Nikon D600. I used a Tokina 10-17 zoom with the D200, but I'm going from a crop sensor to a full sensor, and the Tokina will not take advantage of all the extra pixels. I can't find a fisheye zoom for full frame use, so I probably have to get a non-zoom fisheye. Anyone have a recommendation for what lens I should consider?

Hi Jas , it will be interesting to see the difference in a D600 from the 200. Since you don't have a dome, maybe consider a sigma 15mm 2.8, should give you the stationary set and plenty of light. I think you mention you have two inon strobes and with arms should do a fantastic job.. I have Tokina 11-16 , I. Use on land with my D-7000 and its great, but underwater I have all olympis EPL-1 gear.. Enjoyed your great seahorse photos , they were fantastic.. I am heading to the keys in three weeks for some UW photo dives. Good Luck with your choice.

Thanks for your suggestion. Two other people have recommended the Sigma 15, so I'll look into that. I want to get my new gear all set to go by April, when I have a Thailand dive trip setup. Enjoy your Keys diving! I go there often, and use Ocean Divers in Key Largo, a reliable outfit that's been there for many years.
