I have been using this lens uptop on a Sony VG30 for video.

Don't think I will be using my Tokina 11-16 mm for video any more.

I also found for video that the lens on the Sony set at 50p shutter f4 (0-db) is better in low light than the Canon 60D with the Tokina 11-16m @ 25p f2 (100 iso) :-) 

Great to hear Simon, this would be my UW camera too if I was still in the game. 

I got the VG30, you can access shutter, exposure, WB, DB gain all by a button and scroll wheel on the outside so you do not need to open the LCD.

You can also put any of them in auto or manual mode except the WB but it gives you a huge range of choices.

.

The cool thing about this little camera is you can shoot in 50P then in post run it at normal 25p or slow mo 50P on a 25P timeline.

It also takes amazing 16 meg raws.

The viewfinder is excellent.

There is push a button on the outside to swing from auto to manual focus to.

There is a new NEX 10-18mm lens out but of course like DSLR's you are stuck shooting wide, wide, wide and wide lol

The best way to shoot video underwater is use a true video camera like a SONY PMW 200.
