I dived on a reef covered in marine life on Friday and again on Sunday. On Friday I used a NIKKOR 85mm lens. On Sunday I switched to a NIKKOR 105mm.

Most of my lenses are prime lenses. Very often I use 50mm or the 55mm with adapter on NEX-6.
Here is one with 55mm NAI Nikkor f/3.5.

What did you put behind the flowers? The blurry reflection is very pretty.

What an outstanding set! It's so neat that you are able to combine diving with photography - I don't think I've ever seen these types of images on the Hog!

Hooks in to my issue of the moment. I am considering a Nikon 35mm 1.8 AFS (D3200). Versus 40mm 2.8 micro(macro). Loosing the light of course. Would I better off with the 35 mm and add extension tube for macro, and have the advantage of the larger F (4x light of 2.8)?
I've played with the extension tubes on my 50mm 1.8G. My original thinking was the same that I wanted the additional light from the 1.8. The problem that I didn't take into account is that the depth of field with a 1.8 is already shallow. When I added the extension tubes my dof got so small that it was extremely difficult to get exactly what I wanted in focus. Next time I try it out I'll probably go closer to a f4 - f8.

Pg 4 - Pat, these are really stunning images. To be honest, I didn't
think you'd be able to achieve the bokeh with a prime at such a
close distance...guess I'll have to start saving my pennies!

Pg 5 - I always enjoy your images, Max, which are truly beautiful.
Underwater photography, I'm sure, would require a good fast, prime
lens...gorgeous series.

It's also very frustrating at times. The animals are moving as is the water, me and my camera. With strobes, my fastest shutter speed is 1/250 so I have to try to be as still as possible. I like nudibranchs. They move very slowly. :)
