Oly EPL3 housing zoom control

[Packhorse]

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?

More than happy to make a DIY ring if required but like to know if anyone else has done it first.

It works for the 14-42 and 9-18. I found it for under $30 online.

Where did you get it... I can't seem to find one under $45

The place I got it is currently out of stock. There's a list of prices at Olympus PPZR-EP02 Underwater zoom gear

I got mine at Adorama. It cost a few more $$ but appears to still be in stock.

You really have to check exactly which 14-42mm lens you have. There are three variations and the newest one (I believe) is a slightly smaller diameter, requiring a different adapter ring.
