Anybody that has a Oly 5060 w/PT-020 housing

Does anybody that owns a Oly 5060 w/PT-020 underwater housing think this is a good deal ($69.89 new) ?? It sounds awful cheap to me but appears to be the real thing... I googled it and it came up on Amazon through 17th Street Photo.

If you have an Oly 5060, then this is a good deal. Otherwise, it is very hard to find the camera. At this cheap price, you don't have to feel committed to the setup if you decide to change.

It won't let you do ttl (except with the Oly flash, which you don't want to do), but you can use a strobe with a slave. I used one of these for a year or two. Its a decent design.

It's a good deal... if the reason you ask is you are leery of 17th st photo, the other option is ebay.

Olympus is selling them on ebay for $100 ----> Here's the link

hubbys first rig was oly 5060 in pt housing and he still has it and still uses it and it would be about 5yrs old.

he now uses it for pool work/students and when he is teaching photog courses to give students ideas on various rigs and how they look/feel/shoot
