I've been working with LC Ng of 10Bar to come up with a housing for the new Olympus micro 4/3rds camera the E-PL1. Although Olympus has a housing out, it has several limitations; worst of which is a non-interchangeable port.
Since 10bar already has popular housing out for the similar Panasonic GF-1, I asked LC if he could develop something. I've also been asking for better, dedicated controls on his, and larger knobs to make operation easier. The housings are all cast aluminum, 200' depth rated and have both optical and electrical strobe connections. The flash can be raised and lowered from the housing.
Here's the new housing and it is shipping. Ports are available for the Oly 17mm (with a 67mm screw thread), 14-42 and 9-18mm lenses. These support the similar Panasonic lenses as well, and an extension tube for the 17mm port will allow the Panasonic 45mm macro to be used. He is working on an 8mm FE port. Pricing is the same as the GF-1 housing.
These will be on display at my booth (#805) at the NW Dive and Travel Show and are available to order from the store soon.
