Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM, 0.45x multiplier, and macro filter- Good idea? Opinions?
To be more clear:
I want a wider angle than my Sigma 24mm f/3 macro, as well as a faster aperture. The minimum focusing distance of the 30mm is 40cm (or 15.7"), and since I'm not doing true macro photography, the macro filter should be just fine; all I want is to be closer to my subject in some circumstances.
The 0.45x multiplier will put me at 13.5mm (also desirable), and since it's an aspherical lens, I don't expect the multiplier to distort the image too much; just enough to give images some character.
The f/1.4 capability will allow me to shoot a lower ISO in addition to giving my subject better definition in comparison to the focus of other distractions in the frame.
I've been looking for the mythical f/1.4 super-wide lens for a while now, and this setup would only cost around $450, rather than some $2000. Would you consider this a worthy investment?
This will be used with an APS-c digital sensor.

Waterproof digital camera or not?
I'm looking into getting a new digital camera but am wondering if I should get a waterproof digital camera or not. I think that it would be something cool to have and if it accidentally got water or liquid on it then I wouldnt have to worry but I also wonder about the quality of the waterproof camera over the other cameras on the market. I was looking into the sony tx5 (waterproof) or the Nikon s70 (not waterproof) … Just wanting to get a second opinion before making the final purchase.
