Had the pleasure of taking my Nikon D90 in an Ikelite housing with the 8" dome and dual DS51 strobes during a dive trip to CoCo View Resort on Roatan at the beginning of December. Without having a frame of reference for comparison, I'd have to say I was (and am) quite happy with a lens that is neither purely macro nor tele by design. I don't know why this lens doesn't get better or more frequent commentary on sites like this...and maybe ignorance is bliss? These following pictures are cropped JPEGs taken from NEF original files and have been adjusted for color balance and saturation.
Next step is a dedicated macro lens. Since I live in British Columbia, where the water is green and usually vis limited to 15-30 feet, contemplating the 60mm or 85mm. Any recommendations from folk with experience shooting critters in the Emerald Sea?
Cheers,
Craig.
