i will only be in a surface cage, ambient light should be more than enough. Since it’s my first time taking photo underwater. I wanted to steer away from a zoom lens. I’m stuck between Nikon 20mm and sigma 15mm and maybe a few others. I want to be sure I can get the entire white shark in frame if it’s a bit farther back and possible get its full head when it come close to the cage.

What housing are you planning to use? My housing dictates at least 50mm due to the barrel of the housing, otherwise I get vignetting that I need to crop away later.
