For those who were upset with Olympus for not announcing a new E-420 housing, something worth waiting for. Olympus today announced the release of the new E-520 and a new standard 9 to 18 mm zoom with a housing.
Although the E-520 package will be a little ($$$$) higher than an E-420/PT-E04 combo I think it should be worth the wait.
The Olympus E-520, 9 to 18 mm zoom and new Olympus housing are once again worthy of front page news. Cost V. image quality it will be hard to beat this combination with any other system. With more than twenty different ports from six manufacturers and an assortment of superb lenses, ideal for U/W photography this system should be a winner.
Set for release summer of 2008 is the new Olympus PT-E05 polycarbonate, dual o-ring sealed E-520 housing.
The housing will be equipped with dual fiber optic ports and port mount for all existing lens ports.
A new UFL-2 strobe with fiber optic TTL control will also be released with the housing.
