Christoph: I think shooting existing light with the 14-35 sounds fine for human subjects in pristine water. If you do end up photographing reef scenes and larger subjects, fisheyes and super wides are the way to go. And if you end up doing portraits of small fish and macro subjects, you won’t go wrong with a proper macro like the RF 100. I was a topside photographer more than 40 years ago with Canon FD equipment (Nikon was king then), and what I’ve found is start with what you’re comfortable with, and then go much, much wider. My favorite 24mm is a telephoto underwater!

Aloha and welcome Christoph!

Aloha and welcome David!

Aloha and welcome Stephen!

Aloha and welcome brah! I’m over in Oahu. Also keep an eye on @jayseaphotos and @scubakateb on Instagram. They live Kona side. Jaycee is also on this forum as @JayceeB

Thanks @Chris Ross

Prescription Dive Masks is good but pricey. I had bifocals done, but it turns out that they don’t work so well for middle distance things on a reef. Close up lenses are fine. Next time I’ll put in close up lenses and give up sharp distance vision. I also tried this flip up/down holder, which was a fail. IMG_0128.HEIC IMG_0129.HEIC

Hey Max! I've figured out that this is where the cool kids hang out, so I spend most of my time here. Again, welcome.

Aloha and welcome @Reefy !

Hey @JohnD , a fellow ink-stained Tri-X developing wretch here. I miss it, most days. Shooting underwater is so very different, but I love it. A great challenge. I'm trying to learn more video, though I never thought I would, and many of the folks here clearly know their stuff. I sit at their feet, trying to learn stuff.

Aloha and welcome!
