Well I didn't get much of a chance to use it. My mom got one for herself right before I left. I've never heard anything bad about it though. Im actually debating on the 60mm or the 100mm too. I think the 60mm will work good underwater for macro shots as well as some large fish portraits where as the 100mm sort of limits you to straight macro shots. If you get one let me know what you think of it.

Good point. I really like the 60mm. I pretty much just used it for macro work. Although, I did have a chance to use it for long shots too. So that is a good dual use option.

if i had the money I'd get both, haha, but at the moment I can't get either... one day though. What kind of housing do you have?

I hear you.
I'm shooting my Nikon D200 in an Aquatica Housing with a single (currently) Ikelite DS125. I've only got a dome port. The photo pro on the boat let me borrow his macro lens and macro port. Now, of course, I need those too.
