If you had to pick just three lens

My main lenses are the Nikon 12-24 and the 60mm.

Just started playing with the 10.5

I'm going to have check out the 17-55.

I agree, the 12-24 and 10.5 is sometimes too wide.

for me as a canon shooter:

sigma 15mm

sigma 50mm

canon 100mm

I can easily live with 2 lenses on Nikon. A 10.5 and a 60mm + 2 x TC. (used to be 105).

I'm with Cor, I still miss the 2 x TC in my bag, so this is probably my next buy.

17-55 a great shark lens.. 10.5 and 12-24 too wide for that sort of stuff...

You just need to find bigger sharks and get closer to them!!

Nikon shooter and this is a tough one.

It depends if you lean toward WA or macro. My best shots tend to be macro so I'll say:

60mm

12-24mm

105mm

in that order. If you let me pick 4 it'd be easy to add the 10.5mm.

I like the Sigma 15mm very much too. But maybe now that I have the 8" dome the 12-24mm can do the job of the Sigma and will simplify things. I'll have to try it and see.

Depends on what type of water you're shooting in. I dive a lot in poor visibility waters so for macro i bought a Sigma 50 mm f/2.8 which enables you to focus really close to your subject. For wideangle i have the Nikkor 10.5 mm f/2.8 FE and for wideangle with worse visibility conditions i bought the Sigma 10-20 mm f/4.0-5.6.

For my Canon 20D:

Sigma 50mm macro

Sigma 15mm fisheye

Canon 100mm macro (though I don't own this one.... yet!)

Hi all,

Anyone here have recommendations for Olympus E-300?

Maybe I should have bought a Canon or Nikon, seems to be the preffered brands here on wetpixel! But alas, the money has been spent, lol

I'm an Oly shooter, I don't think you'll be disappointed. My choices would be:

8mm or 7-14mm for wide (I chose the 7-14 for the flexibility and because I prefer the rectilinear lens in more situations, particularly on land. Don't get me wrong, I *love* a fisheye, but I wouldn't put it on as often as I put on the 7-14)

50mm or 100mm macro (100 is not out yet but may be my choice, I prefer extreme macro).

Sigma 50-500 for topside. I'm surprised there weren't more topside lenses listed.

Hey, all you nikon guys that said 105, is that for digital, much longer film equivalent?

For my EOS 20D:

EF 15mm FE and EF-S 10-22mm for WA

EF-S 18-55mm for closeups

EF 100mm for macros

With my new 5D:

EF 15mm FE for WA

EF 16-35mm L for closeups

EF 100mm + TC1.4x for macros
