Hi,
I'm a beginner in DSLR underwater photography and I need an advice for my DSLR setup for underwater photography. I've used my old Casio Exilim S600 with an underwater housing for over 8 years. Now I would instead like to take my Nikon D5100 DSLR (yes, "only" an entry level DSLR) underwater and I consider buying an underwater housing for my upcoming diving holiday (Panama, starting mid April).
Currently my only lense which would fit into the underwater housing's lense port, is the Nikkor 35mm 1.8G (my Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 OS HSM wouldn't fit into the lense port). Would the Nikkor 35mm be an ideal solution to start DSLR underater photography? Or would I regret that and should rather buy another new lense (which one)?
Any hints are highly appreciated!
Regards, Jan
P.s. I like to shoot close-ups of fishes and macros of smaller things (nudibranches etc.) and short videos. I don't yet favour shooting wide angles - maybe on my next diving holiday...
