A few of my diving photos are in my "Diving and Snorkelling" gallery.

Tonight I started pulling out the diving gear to check I have everything
for next weekend's trip to Puerto Galera. This is a new 1st stage
regulator which replaces the old one which was a persistent source of
irritation. The model I had previously has a great reputation, but mine
must have been a dud. I seemed to end up having to borrow regulators on
about half of all the trips I have made, and it was always because of
the first stage. All the rest of my equipment has worked extremely well
so I guess I can't complain too much.

When I take the time to set it up properly on a tripod so I can use low
ISO and not be distracted by noise, this lens seems to be very very sharp,
and I haven't noticed any CA even when it's tilted 20 degrees or more
as in this case. (I can't resist those selective focus effects ... )
