Hi everybody!
I have recently purchased my first Digital SLR camera, an Olympus E-500, which I got a great deal on. I am new in the SLR world, and have got some questions concerning underwater use. I would like to buy a housing for it, and I´m currently looking at housings from Nimar, as them seem to be of nice quality considering the price. My concern is that I have got the camera with a 17.5-45mm lens, and I am wondering how you use lenses underwater. I guess that you are able to zoom by turning the lens even though it is in the husing!? If I want to for example use a wide angle lens, should you then buy a lens for the camera, or should you buy a lens for the housing? I´m a bit confused about this, as i have only used "regular" digtial cameras for underwater photography. Hope that you understand my confusion, and can hep me to sort it out?
By the way, a fisheye lens isn´t wide angle right?
Best regards, and thank you
