Hi,
Nauticam didn't announce the NA-GX7 yet, but it has been available in Europe for one week. Mines arrived today. I will dive with the next 2 weeks...

Hi Shaker,
I'am waiting mine NA-GX7 too.
Probably it will arrive the next week (i hope)
Thank you for the pictures, It seems quite "compact" this housing.
I'm anxious to prove it
Let us know what are your impressions using it underwater.

I have found on Nauticam USA the User Manual of the NA-GX7 .
Look here Nauticam USA - Innovation Underwater - User Manuals
I think that reading the manual is useful to understand if the housing match to our expectations.

Thanks for the feedback.
What Lens, Port, and Zoom-Gear options are you starting with or planning on?

Probably I am crazy, and I will repent of my choice to pass from a quite simple compact camera to a more demanding Micro4/3, but I have purchased on the secondhand market a Panasonic 14-42 Powerzoom, an Olympus 9-18mm, a Panasonic 8mm Fisheye and one Olympus 60mm macro.
I purchased the Nauticam macro port 35 for the Panasonic 14-42Power-zoom and the zoom gear specific for this kind of lens.
The Nauticam 4" Wide Angle Port for the Olympus 9-18mm and the zoom gear specific for the 9-18
The Nauticam 4,33 dome port for the Panasonic 8mm fisheye
For the Olympus 60mm macro i will use the Nauticam Macro Port 35 with the Mini Extension Ring 30.
I am scared because I don't know if i will be able to use properly this fantastic camera and all these lenses....

I made some tests (out of water actually) and i noticed that it is possible to attach on the macro port 35 for the Panasonic 14-42 power zoom with the Nauticam adaptor M67-LD the Inon Wide Wet Lens UWL100LD without any kind of vignetting.
I tried to attach on this port 35 for the 14-42 , always with the Adapter Nauticam M67-LD , even the Nauticam Super Macro Converter and it works very very well.
I try to attach some pictures of these experiments.

I saw first hand the GX7 housing last night and i have to say it is a first class product from Nauticam. It has also a bulkhead it seems maybe for strobe electrical connection?

Hi Interceptor,
no it's not for strobe electrical connection, but for the new vacuum system of Nauticam.
I you see the Flckr set of Shaker at the second post , you will be able to see the Nauticam Housing with the vacuum valve settled in position.
I don't know if this bulkhead could be usable for strobe electrical connection too, on the user's manual there nothing about that.

Ah! Don't like those vacuum systems an bulkhead would be more useful!
