Many thanks! I spotted on another forum that folks have been using the Tokina 10-17 with the D800 set on the DX crop. I hadn't thought of that. Doh. And I've got a TC 1.4 too.... so some things to try out first.

..... thanks for the Sigma 15mm tip. I'll take a look at that.

But a DP-FE2 won't fit directly on a Type 3 mount on the ND800? Will it fit with a 20mm (or less) extension ring? How about a Type 4 mount and the adaptor to fit Type 3 ports?

... and then problems with focussing rings. Man, nothing is ever simple eh?!?! 

I thought one advantage of a switch to the ND800 would be using fibre optic links to Inon Z240s and then the ability to TTL (for macro). But I'm just waiting for someone to say "ahh, yes, it's not that simple......."

I've just got back from the Maldives (Chaaya Reef). I'm a Tokina 10-17 user too for WA. I did find though the sharks hovering around that part of the Maldives couldn't be shot with a 10-17m. I just couldn't get close enough.

I'd agree that it depends where you are as to whether a 10-17 is suitable. It sure works in Mark and Steve's terrific pics!

Hey guys

I'm mulling over now moving from my present Subal ND30/D300 to the Subal ND800/D800.

Although I do primarily macro, I do like the Tokina 10-17 for WA stuff underwater on the ND30/D300. Works a charm.

So moving to macro on the ND800/D800 is not a problem. But what about WA? Sounds like the Nikkor 14mm isn't great. Options then seem to be the Nikkor 16mm? Or how about a Nikkor 16-35? Bit of a monster? I don't really want to go to the bulk of the Nikkor 14-24......

Any thoughts?
