New lenses for Nikon

3 posts
  1. On specs these to lense sound interesting to me (at least for above water work) but to you think they might be promising UW lenses?

    I don't see a any real need for these lenses for my uw needs, even if they were available for Canon.

  2. Thanks for pointing this ou. Its always nice to see choices for Nikon users.

     

    I don't really see an advantage of these lenses over the already excellent Nikon offerings in this range. I don't have any idea of the pricing or quality of these lenses but from the specs at least they seem to be about the same as the Nikin versions. I doubt that there is much difference between say 50 and 58mm or 40 and 35mm in the way of field of view perfection.

     

    For underwater use, these aren't particularly useful lenses. Why use a 40mm lens with an attachment filter to get you 1:4 and "almost" as close as the already excellent Nikon 60mm? The only way to improve the 60mm is to add AFS. Image quality is already near perfection.
