Hi everyone!
Recently I read a post about using the 50mm underwater, everyone sort of thought that it would not be good for uw, and since I had one with me on a recent trip to Lombok, and not having a 60mm with me I decided to try out the 50mm by it self and with a kenko 1.4 teleconverter to see what kind of images I could get out of it.
It is for sure not as versatile as the 60mm macro, but for medium sized subjects I found it quite alright.
Its one of those lenses that almost all of us have (it is pretty damned cheap) and I was just wondering if anyone else uses this lens underwater?
Here are a few examples of the images I got with the nifty-fifty:
Juvenile Batfish swimming under the secret Jetty (50mm)
Estuary Seahorse (50mm+1.4x) (Before anyone gets the wrong idea, I took a photo of this seahorse sitting on an old chain of the jetty, I guess it was startled by the light and started swimming towards the bottom, it was then that I got this shot of it in open water, no touching involved!)
Longhorn cowfish portrait (50mm)
Happy bubbles, Morten.
