Since I dislike changing domes for fear of O ring failure, I thought I would try my Oly 60MM lens in the dome I bought for my 9 -18 mm wide lens. I am using the EPL-5 with the Oly housing and a pair of Sea/Sea YS-01 strobes. I am no "professional" when it comes to underwater photography, but I am very pleased with the results.

Here are a couple of pics - They have been substantially sized down for this post.

I agree! There's some sort of taboo about macro shots with dome ports, but when you're stuck without a flat port, or just to try something new, it's not such a bad idea!
I wrote a blog post on this: Shooting Macro Underwater with a Dome Port

I'm glad more ppl are trying it out :)
As for the photos - nice shots. You need a tad more light there I think. Also, if you had a more distant background for the fish shot, it would have been even better!
 
Here is one of that little fish that is not as compressed as well as one other shot.PC080374.jpgPC080361.jpg
