Just wondering if any body has a first hand experience with this lens underwater ?

The specs seem really close to the Nikon offering ( dimensionaly the same ) , and I recall James suggesting Tokina made lenses for Nikon - I wonder if...........

Any help would be appreciated as they are less than half the price on this side of the world.

There are a lot of people at FredMiranda.com that have have both.

There is allways a thread discussing the differences between these lenses. And the verdict is allways the same. The biggest difference is the spelling of the brand name on the box.

I ordered one and it seemed to be a very nice lens. Others mentioned that it worked with the D70 in a Aquatica housing by using their Nikon 12-24 zoom gear. FYI this gear does not work with the D100, once you have the gear on the lens it is to long to attach the lens to the D100 body.

NWDiver, did you try turing it around? Not being a smart @$$, I think it works, just has to be installed backwards...
