I previously had the Canon 20D with 10-22mm lens and 100mm macro for underwater. I use ikelite to house my camera. Everything was stolen including all my lenses and housing. I still have my two DS-125 strobes, 8in dome and port bodies. Anyway, I have decided to switch to the Nikon D300. I will get the ikelite housing for it, but I am at a small quandary for which lenses to get. I think I have decided to get the 105mm macro Nikon VR lens and the Tokina 10-17mm lens. My main hunt has been which wide angle lens to get. At first I looked at the Nikon 12-24mm but after searching on here, it seems most people were not happy with that lens underwater. Then I looked at the Sigma 10-20mm lens, but I wouldn't be able to use the zoom underwater with the ikelite port system. So then I came upon the Tokina 10-17mm lens. Does anyone have any other recommendations or does this seem good. I will also get the Nikon 18-200mm lens for kinda an all around topside lens. I had insurance on everything, so it looks like this upgrade will cost me about $1000.00.
Edit: Also what are your thoughts on imported lenses from B&H or USA lenses. Are they really the same lens?
