Hi all,
About to go SLR underwater (1st time) hopefully in a couple of months and I wanted to consider the full frame sensor because I shoot sea/landscapes and wide angle long exposures topside and i wanted to feel the upgrade from a DX. However, I do not wish to disincline with the macro side as well. As we all know how good the 60mm and 105mm is along with the number of subjects you can go with it on DX.
1) If I go full frame, will I lose a lot of productivity on the macro side?
2) Is the image quality of a Full frame's underwater ultra wide shot so good that its worth losing the macro of a DX? Or does the full frame dominate on both wide and macro? I understand that using the crop mode on the full frame makes the purpose of getting it, pointless.
Since the D610 is out, I might wait for the D600 to go cheaper or just go for the D610 to avoid oil sensors(this is not the issue). Lets focus on hearing your thoughts, "if" you were me, would you go full frame or choose the top of the line DX? (I'd appreciate if we leave the the d800 and d400 unspoken and i cannot afford 2 housings for 2 ports.
Obviously this depends on me and there is no wrong or right answer. However, I would love to hear your thoughts on this and im sure it will help me decide better.
Things in my mind right now:
option 1. Get a 2nd hand full frame for topside and use DX underwater.
option 2. Get a brand new full frame for both topside and underwater.
option 3. ????????
