Zen WA-100 Dome Port for Olympus Housing

[rhincodon]

The biggest drawback to the PT-EPxx housing is the standard flat port included with the housing. Wide angle lenses behind flat ports (such as the stock flat port supplied with PT-EPxx) exhibit refractive magnification, radial distortion, and chromatic aberration.Zen Underwater addresses these problems with their new WA-100 dome port for PT-EPxx housings. This optically coated glass dome port offers a distortion free 100° wide angle field of view when used with the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4-f/5.6 lens. This is a 25% increase in FOV over the standard Olympus flat port and retains the in-air field of view of the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 9–18mm f/4–f/5.6 lens and M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14–42mm f/3.5–f/5.6L lenses.

This port is well taken care of. No scratches on glass. Some of the antireflective coating has rubbed off but does not appear to affect image quality. I would be happy to forward sample pictures. Comes with front and rear caps, spare orings and oring grease. Also comes with original box and instructions. This port retails for $499 new, get it here at a discount!

Quick question about this - I have a PT-EP06L - do this just screw on to the threads on the front of the housing?

Its the bayonet style so screws on with 180 degree turn.
