I am picking up my DX2 today Yes, I am novice photographer But have learned that e-processing in liveaboards is a thing of the past. AND I was drooling over the humpback whale pictures two of the guys were taking with a DX2 and a similar Canon.
The immediate feedback sure beats waiting till I get home to see whether or not anything I shot was any good and too late to do anything about it!
What lenses do I want for(1) macro and(2) larger creature (such as rays and whales) photos?
Thanks, Erika
A good starter would be the 60mm macro or 105mm if you dive mosty clear water, and a Nikon 12-24mm or Sigma 10-20 mm and yes the 10.5mm fisheye is a must! nice way to start BTW ! you realise there is no turning back to caveman technollogy after a D2x
Welcome aboard and keep us posted of your progress.
Cheers
Completely agree with the above post.
I agree too. For the big boys the 10.5mm Nikon and 15mm Sigma would be my choices (as they would both work behind the same dome port) and then a 60mm and a 105mm for the small stuff.

Yep, count me in too: Nikkor 10.5, 12-24 and a 60mm for macro. If you decide you hate the D2X, do give me a yell......
