What lens

[bvanant]

We are going to South Australia to dive with the weedy sea dragons. I am shooting OMD-EMI Mark III and would like advice on the "best" lens to use with these guys.
thanks

half-meter animals—I’d take the 12-40 pro to ensure a respectful working distance. What a wonderful opportunity!

the ones I have seen have all been around 300mm or less. They make wonderful subjects but easy to miss as they are easily lost in the weeds. If there is a guide take them
Agree with rmorgan re 12-40 pro but last time I dived with them I was on Nikon film!!!

The 60 macro would be great for head shots and they are wonderful and interesting.

Bill, While you are there a dive on the islands with the seals is worthwhile. You could take a great white boat trip but the odds are odd.
