Right, but if you're shooting from three feet away with a macro lens which can focus six inches from the port glass, then the only thing a wet lens is likely to do is force you to get closer by making your camera unable to focus at your preferred distance. If you just want to get closer, you can do it without any extra gear.

I think I'm concluding that a wet lens isn't going to be for me, unless I change my dive photography habits.   But a 150mm lens used in the same way I currently use the 105 will put more pixels on my subjects, most of which are cropped to DX or tighter.
