lense to use with a single strobe

2 posts
  1. Okay, I have come into some extra cash and am debating between a sea & sea or ikelite housing for my canon rebel 350d. My next thought is a lense. I'm currently using an oly 4040 with a sea & sea yd 90 dx strobe. I don't want to change out my strobe at this time but would a 60 mm be a good starter lense? I like to take pictures of everything but concentrate more on macro or little further away subjects. Besides diving in the great lakes I travel to Bonaire each summer so I thought this might be a good lens (besides the kit lens) to use with a single strobe. Would you agree? Would I need two dome ports for the kit and 60? I thought about the sigma 17-70 but I understand the sea & sea does not work with this lens without user modification.

     

    I am leaning towards the sea & sea because it is smaller, but the ikelite for their reputation.

     

    Thanks,

  2. I am not familiar with Sea & Sea, but Ikelite service is just fantastic. I have owned two ikelite housings and two strobes, and, whenever there is a problem, they fix it promptly and well ... no questions asked.

     

    I can't say enough good things about Ike service and support. I will continue to buy and use their products.
