Any of you ever try the Nikon 20mm 2.8 D underwater?

[James R]

I have a D810, and a Sigma 15mm fisheye that I use normally. Was thinking about a non-fisheye option. I have a 20mm 2.8D already...just wondering if any of you have tried it underwater.

I currently have a Zen DP170 glass dome (nauticam housing)

Thx,

Responded to your PM. Now that I've read your post, I'd say your thoughts on it's use are exactly in line with why I use the 20mm - great alternative to the distortion inherent in a fisheye lens.

Here's a recent review by Adam Hanlon that also includes other rectilinear lenses for full frame Nikons ... Review: Nikon FX wide-angle lenses :: Wetpixel.com

Hope this helps!

I used the 20/2.8D in the Maldives recently with the 170 and 200mm Zen domes on my D810...I am happy with the results, and was surprised at how good it does with video (which I rarely do). I think for an upcoming white shark cage diving trip, it'll be ideal. No need to worry with corner sharpness in blue water.
