JackConnick 74 Posted April 8, 2018 I've always felt that it was hard to get close to big animals like sharks and that more reach is required over something like a mid range zoom. Alex had talked about using a 60mm lens behind a dome for sharks and on a recent shark dive in Yap, I decided to try my old AF-D 60mm macro Nikkor on my D850 behind a Zen 170 dome and 70mm extension. I could of used a smaller extension, but it was what I had. The results were quite stunning, I felt. You do need clear conditions to have it work out though, but AF was fast and I had lots of range. The longer reach shortens up the background too. I also switched back and forth from FX to DX mode to see how that felt. I think it's probably more valuable for macro work with the 60 to get more DOF and will try that next week in Palau. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

noelguevara 1 Posted April 9, 2018 Beautiful photos, Jack! Where did Alex recommend a 60mm behind a dome? I’m curious to read more about it and figure out how long an extension ring I need for my 60mm 2.8G behind a nauticam 140mm dome.
