Re: Housing advice for Canon M5

Well, I went to my local camera store and compared working distance of EF-S 60 to EF 100.  In air, EF-S 60 gave about 4" minimum focus distance from front of lens.  EF 100 gave about 6".  I'm used about 1-2" with my G12 and still don't get 1:1 with it.  I suspect 4" (minus the distance from the front of the lens to the front of the port) should be adequate for most small creatures, especially with the underwater magnification.  And I did like the angle of view with the EF-S 60 for larger subject.

I've decided to go with the Nauticam housing and the ports for the EF-M 11-22 and the EF-S 60 macro.  Thanks for the advice.
