Hi Ozzydamo! Thanks man you are funny! Yes, I love the sea creatures and never meant an insult to them by calling them big animals. Thats why I chose photography over spear fishing since I'd rather capture their beauty then to kill them. Underwater Photography is the most EXPENSIVE part of scuba next to tech diving unfortunately for me along with the costs of travel and what not. Well its like pay now or pay later. I don't want to pay 4k for a complete lesser setup then to outgrow it in few years. Might as well invest in DSLR and can use the lens when I upgrade the camera body (hopefully!). I think that I can keep my strobes and arms and just need the lens along with DSLR and housing (most expensive part!). I am looking at Nauticam, Aquatica and Subal housings for the D7000.
Love your style Ben!
I would look at this carefully - Wetpixel D7000 housing review :: Wetpixel.com
The YS-D1's look to be the best price point to performance currently they will do you for wide angle also(buy one for macro firstly and learn how to use it first- that's what I am doing).
Lenses I have picked are- 60mm nikkor macro 105mm nikkor macro(I would get the latest models-Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor f/2.8G IF-ED Lenses as they can't be left in manual by mistake and ruin your dive) and I am about to buy the tokina 11-16mm rectilinear lens and big dome.
I went the AD7000 Aquatica, because of its performance in use and the after sales service is excellent.
