Warren_L:Jeff, if you want to play around with any of the lenses I have, let me know. This will give you an idea of how wide the lenses are, and how close you can focus, that sort of thing. I have the 10.5mm, 12-24mm, 18-70mm, 60mm micro, and 105mm micro and add on diopters.
WOW! Thanks Warren! I would really appreciate that! I am definitely getting the 10.5 and 12-24. I've been buying other land based requirements lately...just picked up another rechargeable battery, filters and the SB-800 speedlight. I've probably taken about 3000 pics since getting the D200 a few weeks ago. I absolutely love this camera I'm so glad I went for it rather than my original choice of the D80.
Now, I have to get on that housing. I'll send you an email to see when the next time you'll be around the humber. Perhaps we could hit the pub across the way to discuss the finer points of UW photography
dive safe,
Jeff.
