Which port should I choose for my E-PL3 housing for using 60mm Macro?

[Jak Crow]

I used the 60mm lens for the first time this weekend, and with the Zen dome. It worked out pretty nicely. Not used to it yet and it was a little surge-ish. Any recommendations on adding a macro filter on the inside of the dome?

Can some one please explain why the 60mm macro will not fit in a PT-EP05L.

Is it due to diameter or length?

Length because of the LED's. based on the advise and P/N from Rich, I bought the port directly from Olympus US and replaced the PT-EP05L port. Cost is about $160. So far so good, the 60mm fits perfectly with the new port.

Hunting on the port glas with 60mm+zen dome is reported in here - people have to increase the minimum focusing distance on the lens to avoid it, that's a pity.

I know what port you're talking about, but do you know the model #?

Please see post #2 in this thread by Rich. To the best on my experience, you can only by it directly from Olympus. When you call, you just need to quote part number VG657900.
