GF1 Housings?

[guyharrisonphoto]

What housings are available for the GF1 and what are their prices?

I have seen photos here with a "Nautilus" housing but cannot seem to find any information about it.

I am in the U.S.

Any help would be appreciated.

I see that Olympus has housings for its M43 similar cameras EP-1. Does the Panasonic optical stabilization work if the Panny lenses are used on the Olympus. Because I will be doing video the IS is important for me.

Thanks

The housings that seem to be most available in the US are the Recsea Seatool, the Inon X-2, and 10Bar's housing. There's a thread about the GF1 with many comments, take a look. Also, try wetpixel forums for some more discussion.

Panasonic's OIS works on Olympus cameras and I believe it is recommended to turn off Olympus' sensor IS. If you want image stabilization on a wide angle, you'll have to go with an Olympus body since Panasonic's 7-14mm does not have stabilization built-in.

Thanks for the info!

Looks like the new Olympus E-pl2 with the Oly housing (a very affordable $599) coupled with the panasonic lenses, will be just the ticket!

I have GF-1 housings from 10Bar in stock. Several flavors are available depending on what ports you want.
