60mm Macro needs to come with a new mask!

[bfuqua]

We purchased a 60mm Macro for our Canon 40D and spent a week in Bonaire filling up memory cards. What a great lens. I did have one problem though... I was hanging around upside down through most of the dives looking for little critters and my mask leaked! Has anyone had the same problem? Any suggestions?

That is a new one to me.

I have never had a mask leak solely because I was hanging upside down taking pictures.

I have had some regulators breathe funny upside down taking pictures, but not a mask leak.

I will be interested to see what others have to say.

BTW: I love that lens also, but the filed of view is a little narrow for me. I am testing a Sigma 50MM Macro instead.

what kind of housing are you using for your 40D?

I've had similar problems & my regulator acts strange at certain angles. I'm guessing the extra blood in your face is causing the mask to lose it's seat.
Hang upside down & look in the mirror ...your facial profile is markedly different.
