Just bought the PM-1 bundle, and would like to add the 60mm macro lens.
Does anybody know if the focus gear for the 60mm is needed, or will the focus gear/zoom ring for the 14-42mm fit?
Actually, my wife has already confiscated this rig, together with my Inon S2000, so I may have to buy a new rig for myself :), and, if I do, I will put the Hero3 on top of it.....
 
The AF of the lens is so good that a manual focus gear is purely optional. I have never felt the need for one on my OM-D rig. That being said, the focus gear for the 14-42 might work. Also, there is a german company that makes a focus gear to fit the 60mm in the Nauticam port/housing. You can contact them to see if it would work in the Oly housing as well.
 
Thanks! think I'll skip the focus gear. Also read somewhere about somebody wh used a rubberband+ the ring for the 14-42....
