Hi there

Does anyone have experience of the Canon 17 - 85 underwater?? I currently use the Sigma 17 - 70 - but I'm evolving so now will use a flat port with my Canon 100m (I have a Canon 40D and Ikelite housing).

However I think I should be able to also travel with the 17 - 85 6" Dome but NOT my 8" Dome for the Sigma. I can fit flat port and 6" Dome in my carry on but not flat port and 8")

OR I can but the Sigma in the 6" Dome and suffer vinetting at its widest.

Does anyone have any strong opinions? Basically its the 100m as my main lens underwater and either the Canon or Sigma when macro isnt appropriate but in the Ikelite Canon port.

Any suggestions welcome. I leave Monday.


Cheers
