Re: Newbie questions: Nikon lens ?

Thanks a lot for the info so far, guys.

Yes, I am looking at a couple of second-hand Aquatica / D100 packages. They are reasonable priced so I will be able to have some redundancies in both housing and camera while learning... Do I really need 2 housings even if they are really good prices ?

I have no interest in surface photography and only in taking u/w photos. So I take that 10.5mm fish eye is the way to go if I want to go with Nikon. Otherwise, go with Ryan's suggestion on the zoom lens.

As far as strobes, I have 2 x Ikelite 225, 2 x SS-300 and a few of the UL arms.

The only extra things I believe that I need are:
  • 8" dome port
  • dome shade for appropriate lens
Anything else other than some skills and a copy of PhotoShop ?
