I recently purchased the 12-50mm macro lens for my EPL3.
Needless to say it would not fit in my PT-EP05L housing. I am unsure there if there is any port to match this lens and housing.
But I know there is a Nauticam port and zoom gear set. But I am not about to invest in a new housing and port and zoom gear.
So best option was DIY.
I machined up a 90mm x 100mm rod of acetal to make the port and bezel and used a piece of polycarbonite as the lens.
Soon after removing the protective layer off the PC I figured it needed to be glass. The PC scratches just by looking at it!
So if anyone knows where I can get a piece of glass 70mm x 6mm I'd be greatfull!
I found plans for a 3D printed zoom ring gear and got a friend to print it out. Sadly it didn't fit. Then with a bit of machining on the lathe... it didnt work. It zooms, but will not allow macro mode selection. I have to redesigned the rear inner ring and hopefully will have it reprinted in a day or two.
