Re: Ocean/surf photography equipment & tips

Hi Ash,

The Aquatech Housing you refer to is a perfect start. 
I use various Aquatech Housings and also one for the 70D. Keep in mind you need the right port for the lens you want to use. The 50mm is what I would start with, but that is just a personal preference.

hello,

I have a Canon 70D with the following lenses:

10-18mm wide angle

twin kit lense

nifty fifty

I used to do a lot of hobby photography years ago with my old 450D, then i upgraded to 70D a few years ago and i haven't actually gotten into it that much, but i'd now like to start making more time for photography again, specifically ocean/surf photography.

I would like to know what your suggestions are for recommended underwater housing? Im thinking of the aquatech base II

what housing would you recommend for a beginner? i want something that is reasonably decent to use so i dont have to upgrade again anytime soon. whats usually the best place to buy water housings online for best price? also what accessories would you recommend that i purchase with the housing?

what lenses do you recommend? is any that i have sufficient, or should i get another lense?

thanks so much!!
