Since buying a new Canon40D I gave my old 300D to my son. I have advised him he should consider a better lens than the kit lens that he got with the camera (no I kept my old lenses, I'm not that generous)
He is a commercial diver and spends most of his time on ships/rigs/barges off the coast of Africa, he has taken some wonderful shots of sunsets etc through the rigs with his P&S. He asked which lens should he get so hence me asking here, he is prepared to spend no more between 300 & 400 UKP on a decent lens. He wont need a large telephoto, something more of a walk around and zoom into the other side of the ship/rig etc. If he's on a barge he's never much more than a few hundred yards from a rig.
He'd also like to take into consideration of it fitting into a underwater casing to take on a dive with him. He already has quite expensive underwater strobes (company paid for them). If theres any divers here any advice appreciated.
