Last sumer we were passed by a pod of Orcas going the other way. I fumbled for the telephoto, and realized I wasn't going to get it out in time. Precious seconds elapsed. By the time I decided to shoot with the Canon waterproof, the Orcas were far enough away that their spouts and fins showed up as tiny specks on the photos because of the 32mm lens. People are paitient with me when I point out the miniscule little plumes of mist, but it is very unsatisfying to me. A waterproof zoom would be the best solution.
