![]() ![]() Figure out priorities and use the appropriate lens. You can get a diver shot if it's a front shot of a horizontal diver, but if you back up to fit the whole diver you're too far. You can get as close as you want for the gobies and nudies and back up a little for portraits of fish that are 9-30" in length. The 60 will be much better for medium to small subjects. You're not going to get gobies and nudibranchs with that lens. The 30 will work for small to medium size schools of fish, portraits of medium to larger fish at about 3ft., portraits of smaller stuff like lobsters and anemones at closest focus (remember, it's 16" from the sensor, not the port). I use a Nikon 35mm f2.0 occasionally when I want bigger subjects than I can shoot with the 60. Post added February 6th, 2013 at 12:12 AM. It is the piece of equipment that will make the biggest difference to the quality of your photos. For some shots this may be desired however.Īt the end of the day you can always buy new lenses and it is great to get out and start shooting so you may as well use it, and when you feel limited then buy something newĪlso - I would recommend you get a strobe as soon as you can. At 1.4 this will make your depth of field razor thin. The issue is that, unless the water is super clear, even without strobes you will want to get as close to your subject as possible. In terms of the f1.4 being an advantage - I am not sure if you will find this to be the case in most instances. It's not wide enough to use for big fish/animals underwater, and it's max magnification of 0.09x rules out macro shots. With the sigma you would sort of be restricted to taking fish portrait/other 'portrait' type shots. ![]() ![]() I presume you already have the sigma 30mm? What other lenses do you have? If you are meaning to use underwater then it probable would work ok, but there are better options. It is a great walkaround prime for a crop camera as you say 30mm is a good focal length (48mm FoV in full frame equivalent). ![]()
