Member since: Monday, September 5, 2005 | New Underwater Photographer, Nikonos V - SB105 strobes, 20mm,15mm lens. I prefer to shoot deep wrecks, 100-150 ft with natural light. This is not so easy, as you get about 8 min at 140 ft, and after a 1- hr blow off about 6 -7 min on the second dive. so you only have about 14 min on 2 dives to get a decent shot. Water on these deep wrecks is usually turbid, 70-80 ft of vis is a great day, with 40-50 being the norm. I prefer the Nikonos for this task as it is so small compared to a housed system. I can put the Nikonos in my BC vest pocket if photo ops are scarce and enjoy my dive, with out lugging a housed setup. I have a Nikon D-200, but can't afford a housing yet. I use it for top side nature photos. I plan to get a housing setup in approx. 6 more months. But I will keep the Nikonos, as I love the small size, and now you can have the pics scanned, and share on the net.
