I've seen Marelux has announced several new housings, including—finally—one for the GH7.

@Phil Rudin I noticed they offer a Nauticam-to-Marelux adapter, but the specific series isn't mentioned. I’m assuming it’s for N120. Does this mean there's no hope for those of us with N85 ports and the WWL-1? Also, I suspect that using an adapter would ruin the port alignment, losing that "perfect fit" we’re used to. Does this mean unless you're using ports with extension rings, you basically have to replace everything?

On a side note: just shortly before the announcement, I asked Marelux marketing if they had any plans for Panasonic housings, and they told me they had nothing in the works. Definitely a 'great' way to win over a new customer (sarcasm intended). 😁

So this is what I have been told so far, Marelux will release M43 housings for GH6/7 and OM-1/11. If you go to the Marelux.co web site you will see that both housings are large enough for the Flash Fuel 2100 battery package a combo extra battery and manual flash trigger and the port for the remote trigger. If you compare these two housings to FF and APS-C housings you will see that the port opening is smaller than the 5 inch (125mm) ports for the other MX housing's. Currently the new port size for M43 has not been announced and no port charts have been announced. I am sure that 67mm flat ports will be made and that they will accept Aquista 130 and 110 wet lenses and as such should also accept Nauticam bayonet mount for WWL-1B. The Marelux NA to MX adapters are N120 for WACP-1/2 and N100 for WACP-C. For WWL-1B and Aquista 130/110 they are interchangeable between brands so Aquista to NA with MX bayonet mount and WWL-1B to MX with NA bayonet mount. I have no idea when the ports will be released but it seems logical it would be when the housings are released.

Ha, we are Marelux dealers and I got the same response from them a few months when I asked about a housing for the MFT series. So it isn't just you. :)

I was looking at Marelux's European and American price lists, and we’re clearly living in The fabulous world of Amélie now, where housings cost more in Europe than in the US 😆

Nope - or did you mean it the other way round and this was a typo?
I guess you fell in the common trap that prices in the EU are only allowed to be advertised incl. VAT, while online advertised prices in the USA excl. VAT.

No, it's not a typo.

Marelux USA and Europe prices are 1:1 dollar/euro and Marelux Europe website specifies prices are VAT excluded.
