    WTB: Canon 7D

    TkdCol posted a topic in Classifieds

    I'm looking to by a reasonably priced Canon 7D. If you also happen to have a 100mm macro 2.8, I would also be interested Thanks

    Thanks, a very detailed reply. Being as cost is an important factor (large domes are expensive) and I don't get the opportunity to see many larger wrecks (where straight lines might be important), it seems like the tokina is a much better option. I guess there's a reason it's so popular. Regarding the the extension tube: to use one is it just a case of adding an extension tube to the port of the same thickness? (Sorry if this is a seemingly very obvious answer, but I am new to UW photography)

    Anybody know of an Olympus tech in Colombia, South America?

    Hi, I'm looking at getting a wide angle lense (I can only afford one wide angle and one macro set-up atm, so both is not an option). The top 2 contenders seem to be the Tokina 10-17mm and the Canon 10-22mm. I hope to shoot larger animals like whales, sharks, large schools and to a lesser extend some reefscapes and wrecks. The Tokina seems to be the more popular lense, but I'm concerned about the ballooning that comes with the fish eye effect. Any advice or experience is appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi, the question is more Ikelite vs something more expensive for a Canon 7d. I've practiced photography for many years, but this is my first foray into UW (besides action cams). I'm primarily looking at the used market and want to know what benefits I'd really get from spending a bit more on an aluminium housing vs the cheaper Ikelite polycarbonate option. Price is definitely an important factor, but if there are significant issues with using a plastic housing (i.e. fogging, less reliable) I would be willing to spend more. As a second part of the question, what are people's opinions regarding the different Al housings? I've seen several reviews of the Aquatica and the Nauticam, which seems to put the Nauticam on top. I am also located in Colombia (South America), meaning buying from the US is relatively easy, but from Europe expensive (where Hugyfot seems to be more available) Thanks for any advice.

    Hi, I'm UK diver resident in Colombia. I've been into photography since I was a child (a hobby inherited from my dad). I'm now looking to move into underwater photography (only used action cams under the water so far) and looking at building a 7d system.
