In Topic: What Lenses?

24 February 2012 - 02:25 PM

If you are limited to 2 lenses and want to shoot Oceanics, as your post implies, then you will find the 60 too long for them.  The Tokina will be of use at the 17mm end (depending on how comfortable you are close up to them).  Generally I find mid range zooms such as the 17-55 or the 17-35 used on DX format, are good for mid sized sharks.  If your kit lens is an 18-55, this may well be a good option, although you may need a close up lens depending on the size of your dome (I've never used the 18-55 underwater but other wetpixellers might have).  Wide rectilinear zooms such as the 12-24 will also be of great use (moreso than the Tokina when it comes to shooting Oceanics)

Hope this helps
