Tommorrow Oly will release new "pro" micro 4/3 camera called E-M5. According to this article 43 Rumors | Blog | (FT5) New (precious) Olympus E-M5 info! it will have UW housing.
"There is a E-M5 Diving box coming this summer (name PT-E08). It goes 45 Meters under water, and you can use the 14-42mm II, 14-42MM IIR or MZD 9-18mm lens. Yuo can also use MF lenses like the Zuiko ED 8mm f/3.5, the ZD 50mm f/2.0. The (exteranl) Flash that comes with the E-M5 can also be used."
On closer inspection this housing looks a lot like the PT-E05 housing for the Olympus E-520 with the O-ring color changed from orange. It has controls on the rear door where you would not find controls on the new E-M5 camera. The LCD screen size looks much to small as well. I think this Flickr image may be a fake.
The new housing reverts back to the DSLR port mount used on the PT-E housing systems.
Very feature rich camera, 1/250th sync. onboard flash.

Hi Phil,
I'm assuming that the new 60mm macro lens will be 4/3 and not micro 4/3, therefore I will need an adaptor for my camera AND housing?
Do you know of any manufacturers who make the adaptor for the Olympus PT-EP03 housing to Olympus PT-E ports?
