Hey guys,
I've been taking dry pictures with the Canon 5D using a Sigma 28-300mm lens and am pretty happy with the results. I feel ready to take the plunge and start to outfit the camera for UW photos!
I'd like to ask your opinion about lens choices for wide angle and macro shots for this camera in particular, or for DSLRs in general. I am currently looking at the Ikelite housing, and, to go with it, these 2 lenses:
(1) Sigma 15mm Fisheye for wide-angle shots (this one seems pretty popular with UW photographers)
(2) Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro for macro shots (this is has gotten some good reviews by dry photographers)
I'd be interested to know what you think about these lens choices. I'd like to buy the lenses before I get the ports / strobes / housing.
Thanks!!
J.
