Still have the 7-14mm and related kit?

Outfitting my EM5 III to go diving with me, and trying to figure the best lens to start with... Any thoughts?

My experience is that macro / fish-portraits is easier than wide angle stuff; at least easier to get images that "pop". That might be because I have only a single strobe, or maybe I'm just not very good at underwater photography.

The two “proper” MFT lenses to get are the 60 macro and either the Olympus or Panasonic fisheyes. You can make great images with either. But, if you don’t want to be changing lenses and you’re more into documenting sea life (fish to turtles, for example) consider a kit zoom, like 12-32, -40, -45, -50. My two cents.

Thanks both for the advice. So far my underwater shooting has been on a GoPro, so I figured wide angle, close focus would be the easiest to get into. Don’t really want to go the fisheye route (so I can take undistorted videos, and so I can get a lens I’ll be equally likely to use topside), so the 7-14 seems to be the next best thing. Curious why you’d recommend one of the 12-*mm lenses over that? Wouldn’t a longer zoom lens just put more water between me and my subject?

I didn't write the original message, but in my limited experience 12mm is plenty wide for portraits of larger animals like turtles and sharks. That's already at about 18" shooting distance, and at least for me, I don't want to be crowding the animal more than that. This is 12mm on mu4/3, so 24mm ff.

You’re right about shooting wider to lessen the space between the photographer and his/her subject, but that means you have to get very close to sometimes skittish subjects which is a challenge in and of itself. Shooting wider, say with the fine 7-14mm, means quality over quantity in the number of successful photographs you make, but you will miss the smaller critters that you cannot get right in front of your port dome. Shooting with a longer zoom allows you to capture these more often. And, you can add a close-up lens to shoot even smaller critters, all in one dive. Depends on your preference for critters versus capturing ambiance.
