I recently purchased the 12-50mm macro lens for my EPL3. Needless to say it would not fit in my PT-EP05L housing. I am unsure there if there is any port to match this lens and housing. But I know there is a Nauticam port and zoom gear set. But I am not about to invest in a new housing and...

Hi-Max X9 review The switch is a rotating magnet and its action is very smooth. It clicks at both in the on and the off position. Although the clicks do not seems to add much resistance to turning it on or off, this shouldn’t be an issue as there is some slight resistance to rotating it so it...

I have recently modified a Sea & Sea 16mm WA leans to fit a M67 thread for my Oly. I am happy with the results so far but would quite like an even wider lens. Does anyone have any experience with the Sea & sea Nikonos lenses like the 15mm and 12mm? Would it be possible to use these as an...

I have a YS 60 strobe but since its not a slave and my Oly housing has no bulkhead for a cable I am in need of another way to trigger it. I found by using a IR photo diode ( looks like a clear 5mm LED) placed on two of the strobe cables pins it would trigger with and sudden change in light. In...

I have just purchased via auction an old Sea & Sea package and included with it is a 16mm WA lens. I think I can make up an adapter so the lens will fit my Oly housing via the 67mm thread. Any one used the 16mm S&S lens before? What is it like? Will it work with my 14-42mm lens?

Hi all, Been awhile since I posted here, mainly due to moving to CCR. Anyway, got a friend who has just started diving and I recommend he get a G250v and MK25. While in discussions with a well respected service tech, it was said that the piston bushes need to be cut before installed when a...

Once again Im looking for a wet lens, although this time its a wide angle. Camera is EPL3, '05L housing, 14-42mm lens. Id rather stick with a wet lens so I can swap to a wet macro and back underwater. ---------- Post Merged on July 13th, 2012 at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous Post was on July...

OK its a rather short list thus far. Can you extend it? Please include non m4/3 lens with adaptors. Oly EPL-3 body 14-42mm lens PT-EP05L housing

Will a 50mm 4/3 lens still be a 50mm lens on a m4/3 body or will the adaptor push the lens further away from the sensor and change the attributes of the lens?

Went out for a dive today with a macro adaptor (dry) on my 14-42mm lens. It would just fit inside the housing. The focal distance was limited but then so was the vis. The problem I got is some times it would not take the shot even when apparently focused. Is there any way to force it to take...

What is the best macro lens that will fit a EPL3 and oly housing without changing the port to an after market one? Happy to use a adaptor if required. Or should I just buy a macro converter lens for the 14-42mm lens?

Well after 6 weeks wait my Oly housing finally arrived. It seems you need a extra part to get the zoom control working. Some part that fits to the lens. Is this part specific to the lens or will it work with multiple lenses? ( I have 14-42 lens). Can it be used for manual focusing instead...

Well I just brought a E-PL3 with 14-42mm lens and the Oly housing has been ordered. I guess I am too used to my Canon G11 ( and older G10) where the controls were easy to use dials. The tint buttons inside the ring on the Oly are so hard to use! And it took me 5 minutes to figure out how to set...

Im looking at getting a new camera and the Olympus EP range looks like it ticks all the boxes. I will more than likely use a Oly housing, but the question is which camera is the best to get? Can you get Oly housings for all the EP range?

Anyoneknow what size the tank threads are on the Divator MKII Steel4 litre 300 bar tanks are?

Has anyone got a MK10 alignment tool I could get some measurements off. I would like to machine one up on the lathe.

I am building a video light set up for a friend. Im looking at a twin head set up each with 4 Cree XP-G LEDs rated at about 490 lumen each. He uses a Nikon D90 with a fish eye lens ( and others) that gives him 170 deg view. The idea is to use the bare LED's with no optics. This would...

I have just won an auction for 3 72cf tanks. I have not taken delivery yet so dont know the specs but from what I gather they are all pretty much the same regardless of manufacture. Is this correct? Now I assume these are 2250 psi tanks ( we dont use the +10% in NZ) but I am wondering what...

I got a mate who has a couple of MK10 DIN's. One has an air leak from around the seat carrier. When you slowly open the tank valve it will leak but if you quickly open it it seems OK. My guess is its one of the HP cap Orings not seating properly. I had a look at it for him a year or so ago...

I have never dived deep on a unbalanced 2nd stage but I read that they are harder to breath from at depth. This I do not understand. They are still depth compensated, They only difference is they do not compensate for changes in IP. So is all this talk about unbalanced 2nd stages breathing...
