Which fisheye zoom / rectilinear / port combo?

11 March 2013 - 01:36 PM

Hi all,

I'm very close to pulling the pin on a new Hugyfot / canon 7d system.

Originally, I was just going to get a 60mm macro and the tokina 10-17mm with the 174mm dome port.

However, after juggling a few things around, I may now have a few wide-angle options, which I'd like your thoughts on

1. Tokina, along with a canon 10-22mm with the 174mm port

2. Tokina with mini dome

3. Canon 8-15mm with the 174mm port.

Most of my shooting is in good viz, and I definitely want a fisheye - later this year I'm off to play with manta's - and like the thought of a mini dome, but then again also like the thought of the improved IQ of the canon fisheye. Then again, I like the thought of the extra versatility of having the 10-22mm as well!!

At least the 60mm is a definite choice!

regards

Mike

I'd appreciate some feedback as i'm fully aware I don't need to build a new shelf for all my awards yet........

Tiger beach day trips

17 July 2012 - 09:02 AM

Hi,

Me and the other half are considering a week in the Bahamas next year. One of the big attractions for me is the possibility of going to tiger beach. However, this would need to be done on a day trip basis. I know Stuart Cove do such a trip, but does anyone else do similar things anddoes anyone have any expreience of the trip?

New camera in Ikelite or older model in Subal etc

24 June 2012 - 08:00 AM

HI guys,

I'm about to get a dslr system and was after opinions on combo's. Basically my budget will allow for a newer model such as a D7000 in a new Ike housing or going second hand and getting something like a D200 in a subal / aquatica / sea & sea type housing.

I can read reviews all day long (and have done!) but am after real world opinions on any significant differences, ie does the AF and DR of the newer models make enough of a difference underwater to not get a high level housing. I currently shoot canon but am not bothered which camera system I buy for UW.

Cheers

Mike

Red sea - first images posted

Hi all, first images I've posted on here, taken with a canon S100 in a FIX housing and a couple of inon Z240's. Lovely quiet diving in sharm at the moment (even had the pleasure of meeting Stew Smith on the bus one day!). Thick skinned and need to learn so fire away...
