Re: Some of my first photos with A6300

I based those comments on an exchange I had with another diver in AZ who also has the same lens and a big dome.  He was wondering what I thought of the Sea and Sea Internal Correction Lens, which I think is wonderful.

He stated that he had the 70mm extension, which was recommended at the time.   I think it may well be that the +2 diopter was only needed for that extension (or perhaps others even shorter?).   I've seen a number of comments from other 16-35 shooters that they wouldn't consider shooting it without the diopter.  I never heard from them what extension they were using.

By the way, regarding diffraction and depth of field, I think diffraction is often overstated.  Sometimes more DOF is worth a small loss in resolution, but a small loss may be smaller than some people think.   Here is a Banded Coral Shrimp I shot at F29, looking straight down into an Azure Vase at fairly close range.  I chose F29 entirely for depth of field.

Nikon D810, 105VR shot at F29, 1/160th, ISO 100.

Here is a crop from that shot.  The hairs under the body are pretty fine details:
