Using the Oly PT-050 housing with the the XZ-1, have you had any trouble of any kind with the Olympus PYWC-01 or the Inon UWL-H100 wide angle conversion lenses?

The PTWC-01 is a great (but heavy) piece of glass that yields excellent results with the XZ-1.

How heavy? Heavy enough to throw off my shots or just heavy feeling?
I've been told that the Oly PTWC-01 has problems with the threads corroding, and there is a review stating that while it's a lighter lens, the Inon UWL-H100 has vignetting issues. Has anyone experienced either of these issues?

You wont really notice the weight underwater and if you put a small amount of silicone on he threads you should never have an issue with corrosion.
And, for what it is worth, you can add the dome to the Inon for even wider FOV. But that option also adds weight and of course expense.

While not a true wide-angle lens, we find that the Nauticam wet mount conversion lens works very well with this setup. It restores the field of view to 28mm and is very small and light. And it's cheaper than the other options at $240.

Thank you for your recommendations and help, but I decided to go with the E-PM1.
