Question Anybody using the Olympus ports to AOI OM-1 housing?

[whsmac]

Hello

I have E-M1 MKII with Oly housing PT-EP14 and my ports are PPO-E04(Dome) and PPO-E03(Macro). I have been using these port from E-520 and the port adaptor PAD-EP08 can make it.

Nowadays, I consider to buy OM-1 and AOI housing UH-OM1, I wonder can I still use these ports I have. Because, upgrading all gears at one time include dome and macro ports is too much expensive. So I need help for these cases as below.

Q1. If I attach AOI ER-PN_OD-37(Extension Ring 37mm for PEN Mount Housing to OM-D Port), Olympus 8mm lens is possible without vinneting?

Q2. Is there other port adaptor for the old Olympus ports to PEN port? PAD-EP08 is fit for OM-D housing.

Anybody has expereince or idea, please let me know.

Thanks for reading and hope to be happy in New year.

The AOI port adapter is clunky, but it works. I haven't tried an OMD port intended for the 8mm, but my guess is that it would vignette. I tried the macro port, and it was too long to be effective with the adapter, especially for the 30mm.

I went with a PEN port for the 8mm; with the 34mm AOI extension ring it works great with the Olympus 12-45. Without the extension ring, it works in a pinch for macro (until you can get a dedicated macro port).

Thanks for your expereince. What is the name of of your PEN port for 8mm and 12-45mm lens? AOI DLP-07 or Olympus dome port?

Mine is from Inon. I don’t remember the model number, but they should all be the same optically.
