Refers to Underwater Photography Tips, Natural Light | Sport Diver for the full article.
The example images look quite interesting in terms of depth of field, booked, sharpness and color.
However, as reported in the article it can be very challenging using this lens under water.
First of all 50mm standard lenses do not have a real close focusing distance.
If I understand the blog post correctly the lens has been used in a macro port. What about using it inside a dome port?
Using available light only does allow using the lens in shallow depths only if one wants to have some colors except blue and green. However, I do not see a true reason why not using strobes, except that positioning of the strobes could be tricky given the long focusing distance.
Having read this, using a 50mm lens underwater is definitely something I will be trying one day. I am looking forward to sharing results!
