Hello all,
I'm new to the forums (first post) and I wanted to make this my first forum/sub-forum.
I just had a few general questions. I am a big land photographer, I use both digital - Canon D-60, and Film - Elan, and A2 bodies. I also have a decent amount invested in lenses - Canon 70-200 F/2.8L and Canon 35-350 F/3.5-5.6L(I don't know how affective this would be because of the fact that you have to push and pull the lens to zoom)and some various other Canon lenses, along with a wide angle tamron - 17-35 F/--Di.
Please forgive me ahead of time for asking some pretty novice questions, I haven't used anything over some throw away kodak underwater cameras - so I'm a complete new comer. I wanted to know your opinion in what kind of rig I should get for the bodies I have, and who prefers film/digital and why. I really wanted to get into taking pictures underwater, and I would really like to get intvolved, money isn't really a factor - I am willing to save up to buy good equipment so as not to just be wasting money on inferior products.
I'm guessing that a more wide angle lens would be good, and just fix the zoom and maybe even focus to a preset limit?
Jeez, this is getting long - so I will cut this right here. Mainly I wanted your imput on what rigs are good with those bodies, and maybe if I could get one rig for all those bodies. And what type of lens you all have had best luck with. I would rather here it from real people, I read reviews, but I am never sure how un-biased they are.
Thanks alot for the help guys and gals,
Will
