Hi all-
I'm hoping someone can help me decide on a macro wet lens to buy.
I currently own a Fantasea Line FG7X II and am really comfortable with it when shooting wide. I'm a competent land photographer when it comes to macro lenses, but have no experience with underwater macro work.
That housing uses a 67mm thread, so I don't have to go with a Fantasea lens if I can find another good 67mm. However, for reference, they do sell a number of their own.
I'd probably prefer something that doesn't require me to get right on top of the subject and risk scaring it away. With normal lenses that's just a matter of comparing focusing distance ranges, but that kind of info doesn't seem to be readily available for underwater lenses.
So, I guess my two requirements are "something with a good magnification and a focusing distance range that won't force me to be right on top of the subject."
Or, maybe the working distance doesn't matter if all of these can focus to infinity. If that's the case, then I guess I'm just looking for a nice lens with a good zoom magnification that runs probably less than $300 give or take.
Thanks!
