- Forum post, and larger version of the images. Hans notes that he’s now able to give up manual focusing while photographing underwater as the D200’s AF is up to the task.
- Lenses used: Nikon 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor, Nikon 60mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor and Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G ED AF DX Fisheye
- He had to modify his Subal for F4 housing because the version for the D200 wasn’t ready at the time - he describes the Subal modification steps at his site; you’d need to understand Dutch to take advantage of the information there.
- Hans explains that an SB-800 flash in a Subal housing is used for macro shots, while for the ultra wide-angle pics with the Nikkor 10.5mm, two SB105 flashes are used.
- He sometimes uses Magic Filters from http://www.magic-filters.com. The filters are designed to counteract blue light underwater. Dr. Alexander Mustard, the designer of the filters uses the Nikon D2X for his underwater photography, samples of which can be seen here.
