Now that i got my 17-55 lens i need a zoomgear for it. As i know nexus dont make zoomgear gor the 17-55
and some are using a modified 12-24 zoom gear.

Before I order a 12-24 Zoomgear i love to hear you opinions on this..

Subal makes one, not sure if this will mesh with Nexus

Lambis -

I just got this lens for my Nexus setup... Ryan at Reef Photo set me up with a gear that worked great. Email him.

ps. You will love the 17-55DX.

I am looking to buy the D200 and thought that the 17-55 would be a good general lens to have down there considering that you can't change lenses.

How is your experience with it?

What can I say the lens is great not only underwater but aslo a great studio portrait & travel lens.
The 17-55 will cover you most needs. Now if this is a good general lens
depens off the way yopu take photos and your subjects. For me it is others may like better a 12-24

Thanks Sync!

So I am just wondering about the difference UW between the 12-24 and the 17-55. My thinking is that the 55 will allow you to get a bit closer to a subject, particularly one that you might not want to get too close to. Plus the constant 2.8 opening must be great and bright?

I have think that the 17-55 will be a better lens for that kind off photos that i do. People Portraits underwater
W distrotion that is minimal. a zoomrange that help me to cotrol the backgrounds (Not that wide as 12-24 where offen i shoot a person and behind him the hole pool ) and the ability to make close ups without the distrotion effect that have a 12-24 or a 16mm

Then I shoot Studio and for this this lens is exelent
