Hi,

Have been using P&S;like the Canon G9/Ike housing for a number of years. I dive here in the murky waters of No. California. I have avoided moving to dSLR because the “gospel” is you have to choose—macro or WA before a dive. I often run into great nudibranchs, but in the same dive a harbor seal or sea lion. But I need to reduce shutter lag!

Can anyone recommend a nikon-mount lens that would give good results on something like a D90 or D300 where I could still capture both WA and macro. I realize that it won’t be true macro or true WA like having a specific setup. But I have rarely been on a dive where just one of the other would serve. Probably be getting an Ikelite housing since I have Ike strobes.

Thanks!
