    Hi Evan, I dived Lembeh last July and am heading there again this June. I used my 60mm lots and a +6 Diopter. I did have a +12.5 pro diopter just too difficult you need to be millimeter perfect. The 60mm is pretty Good but that Shaun the sheep hairy shrimp and nearly everything else is a lot smaller than you think unless you have been there before.

    Dive into Lembeh has a wonderful house reef and nudi falls is to die for. Last time I took my 14-42 with a 09F UWL pro this time I am taking my 8mm fisheye with a mini dome mainly for those 2 dive sites. We dived every afternoon on house reef so well worth taking it along. I don’t own the 90mm but I think I need to start budgeting for it. I will be taking my 30mm lens which I have read is much easier for Blackwater dives. It has a slightly wider angle, and it doesn’t search nowhere near as much as the 60mm. My camera is the EM1 miii – however I think with our cameras underwater it all about the glass we stick on the front. I am thinking of taking extra luggage and just pay. Oh, the Lembeh Dragon is very cool, but looks like a short piece of string. Hope you have a wonderful trip, and the equipment you do have will also do you well.
