Lens for Canon G camera

[Kraken de Mabini]

Hi, I have a Canon G camera with housing, but no lens. Which lens would you recommend to photo

nudibranchs and small fish? Thank you.

Are you talking about a Canon compact G series camera and asking about a closeup diopter to use with it?

Hi Chris:  It is an old standard size G Canon, not a compact.  Maybe I should take the camera and housing to my local camera dealer, for them to suggest a lens. Thank you for suggesting a close up diopter.

Sorry, still not sure which camera you are referring to, the only Canon G cameras I am aware of is the G series compacts like to G16.   Is it an EOS DSLR?  Full frame or APS_C?  this will all impact what lens to choose.

Good questions. After thinking it over, it seems best for me to take the camera with housing to a photo shop, such as Bluewater Photo.  I now have to set aside a half day for the long drive to and from the shop.
