Alex, I have Sea&Sea MDX 300 equipped with compact dome port with Nikon D300 + Nikkor 12-24mm inside. As it usually happens during last few days before trip I'm trying to solve soft corners issue with this setup using your articles among other sources. I'm purchasing +4 diopter, hoping it will improve corners on open apertures a bit, but worrying since I never used one and my time in Galapagos going to be very limited. I was thinking about Tokina 10-17 but decided that I prefer straight undistorted perespective for my shooting style, and that Nikkor 12-24 is good lense which probably can be fixed somehow with usage of add-ons or proper port.
I will appreciate your advice a lot on this.
Cheers, Alex

Sorry to dig up this thread that will not die but after so many emails of the same questions, it's easier this way. Since I dragged this thread up, I'll throw in a pic or 2.

I have one complaint Craig; you don't post enough of your images.I've received more than a few emails regarding this trip so I'll respond here.
The trips run by Wetpixel are designed for maximum opportunity to photograph the phenomena (how you shoot is another matter). We minimize the group to 4 or 5 for that effect. It stands to reason that the fewer divers, the better the photo ops. We'll let the results speak for themselves here. Read this thread and you'll get an idea of what the trip is about. Our way of operation is not representative of the general ops available besides going to and coming back from sea (and even that is sometimes different).

Oh I see... I thought it was your witty Gauteng left field dig at Craig Clasen... how disappointing! Even scarier is how I jumped in on it.
When I first saw it, I thought it was a beautiful example of crossthreading ...
