Sick!!!

[@happy1wandering]

Amazing!!! What’s the appropriate focal length on a full frame when free diving with Orcas ?

[@ikelite]

We prefer fisheye lenses like an 8-15mm fisheye but you may be able to get by with a 14-35mm or 16-35mm depending on how close you are getting. Check out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH-7fn55ZdKKaKM

@@ikelite great thanks! It doesn’t cause distortion / barrel effect when filming ? Talking about video not stills. Also in such a low light situation, what fstop do you use to get the whole orca in focus ? Would you be concerned about a very shallow depth of field when shooting wide open ? Thanks again & keep up the amazing work!

​@@happy1wandering Assuming you're referring to the 8-15mm fisheye. The distortion effect of a fisheye lens tends to work in your favor underwater and is generally not even noticeable at the distance your shooting orcas from. You can see more big animal video taken with a fisheye in this video of Florida manatees: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqKagYCdrJ5ol6M Wide open f/4 is going to be preferred in these kind of very dark environments. Depth of field is not a concern with fisheye lenses underwater.
