Hi,
I am going on the Nautilus Bella Amie to Guadalupe Island this summer. I have a question regarding which lens should I use. I shoot the Olympus OMD-EM5 in a Nauticam housing. I do own the Panasonic 8 mm fisheye with the 3.5" dome which I am planning to bring. As most of you know this lens works great for CFWA, but I am concerned, how close do the sharks actually get to the cage (I had mixed success using this lens for thresher sharks in Malapascua earlier this year). Also the fisheye distortion is not always desired with sharks.
I would like to bring the new Olympus 7-14mm pro, but both the price of the lens and the necessary ports, extensions etc. are more than I am willing to spend at the moment.
I was thinking about getting the Olympus 9-18mm as an alternative for sharks and wide angle, but there are mixed reviews about this lens underwater.
So, in summation my question is should I just stick to the Panasonic 8mm fisheye, or should I look into getting something else?
As always thank you all for your time and help
