Hi Robin, thanks for your reply, ill send you a PM. I want to start with larger subjects (sharks,dolphins, whale sharks) and reefscapes while snorkeling to get the hang of things. once i feel comfortable enough ill take it on dive trips and buy a strobe or two. what subjects did you photograph with the Samyang and do you have some pics you can share ? 🙂

Good day, I’m looking to buy my first underwater photography gear after using a GoPro for years. currently shooting on a A6300 and that’s also the camera i want to take underwater. This is what i have in my shopping list Seafrogs salted line housing + 6’’ dome port vacuum pump no strobes yet as I’m first planning on using it at depths to 5m + wide angle (no macro) so should be enough lighting no? thing I’m struggling with is the best (budget) lens option for this setup. I’m thinking about getting a Samyang AF 12mm lens. Will this be any good for the type of photography I’m planning on using it for and no strobes? thanks for your suggestions

Good day all, I’ve recently discovered this forum in my pursuit in learning more about underwater photography. I’m an hobby land photographer and recently got interested in pursuing the same hobby underwater. The GoPro Just doesn’t scratch that itch, i have an A6300 and yet to purchase all my underwater gear.
