Which lens would be the best choice for shooting large pelagic (like mantas) with a D300s? I new to underwater digital so any advice I can get will be appreciated. Thanks.

A Tokina 10-17 has always been a favorite of mine.
Big +1 on the Tokina 10-17!

Yes, the Tokina 10-17mm is a wonderful lens, but only if you can get really close. Otherwise, even large pelagics will look like fly sh*t in your photos, even with full zoom.
Yes, that is correct. An FX "equivalent" would be something along the lines of the Nikon 14-24.

Thanks! But FX lens would work with DX cameras no problem?
Yes, but it would be a longer effective focal length. A 14-24 would be less wide-angle (about 20-36 equivalent, which isn't that wide for UW).

Would adding a kenko 1.4 tc make this a more viable lens for this type of subject?
