Choosing the Right Lens for Underwater Photography: Tips from Cayman Jason

Dive into the world of underwater photography with Cayman Jason as he shares his expertise on lens selection for capturing the stunning underwater landscapes of Westside Grand Cayman. Aboard the dive boat Juggernaut with the Ambassador Divers crew, Jason discusses the nuances of choosing the perfect lens for your underwater camera, whether it's for wide-angle or macro photography.

For wide-angle photography, Jason recommends lenses like the Canon L series 8-15mm zoom for full-frame cameras, explaining how it serves a dual purpose for both stills and 4K video due to the crop sensor mode of the Canon 5D Mark 4. He delves into the technical aspects of using this lens to capture expansive reef scenes and the importance of understanding the relationship between lens choice and camera sensor type.

Switching to macro photography, Jason introduces the Canon 100mm macro lens, ideal for capturing smaller marine life. He explains the difference in lens requirements for full-frame, crop sensor, and Micro Four Thirds cameras, emphasizing the need for a 60mm lens to achieve a similar effect on smaller sensor cameras. Additionally, he discusses the use of diopters for super macro photography and the importance of choosing the right port for your lens, whether it's a wide dome port for wide-angle lenses or a macro port for macro lenses.

This video is a comprehensive guide for underwater photographers, from beginners to seasoned professionals, looking to make informed decisions about their equipment to capture the mesmerizing beauty of the underwater world.
