What Zoomgear for Nikon 17-55 and Nexus d200 housing?

7 posts
  1. Now that i got my 17-55 lens i need a zoomgear for it. As i know nexus dont make zoomgear gor the 17-55

    and some are using a modified 12-24 zoom gear.

     

    Before I order a 12-24 Zoomgear i love to hear you opinions on this..

    I just got this lens for my Nexus setup... Ryan at Reef Photo set me up with a gear that worked great. Email him.

    I am looking to buy the D200 and thought that the 17-55 would be a good general lens to have down there considering that you can't change lenses.

     

    How is your experience with it?

    I have contact Ryan and he will send me a zoom gear. Thanks my friend . I have order a a 40cm extension to (have a 20cm & 30cm)

    so i will test soon but i think it will be 40+30cm

    What can I say the lens is great not only underwater but aslo a great studio portrait & travel lens.

    The 17-55 will cover you most needs. Now if this is a good general lens

    depens off the way yopu take photos and your subjects. For me it is others may like better a 12-24

    Thanks Sync!

     

    So I am just wondering about the difference UW between the 12-24 and the 17-55. My thinking is that the 55 will allow you to get a bit closer to a subject, particularly one that you might not want to get too close to. Plus the constant 2.8 opening must be great and bright?

    I have think that the 17-55 will be a better lens for that kind off photos that i do. People Portraits underwater

    W distrotion that is minimal. a zoomrange that help me to cotrol the backgrounds (Not that wide as 12-24 where offen i shoot a person and behind him the hole pool ) and the ability to make close ups without the distrotion effect that have a 12-24 or a 16mm

     

    Then I shoot Studio and for this this lens is exelent
