It is the standard Oly housing. The only issue with that housing is the "spotting/macro lights" port design results in you NOT being able to fit the excellent Olympus 60mm 2.8 macro lens inside. The port is a little too short. A good idea but not great execution as it limits your choices and the lights are not really strong enough to be useful.

The housing cost about $200.00 US more than the Olympus housing without the lights. The lights are quite weak and much less useful than a focusing light. This arrangement also interferes with the addition of the excellent ZEN Underwater glass ports for lenses like the Panasonic 8 fisheye, 7-14 zoom and 45 macro as well as the Olympus 9-18zoom. At the very least the wires need to be disconnected to use those ports.
