After lots of advice everywhere I bought myself a new Olympus C-8080 camera, and it looks like I am going to buy an Ikelite housing for it.
I don't want the hassle of flash/strobe arms & brackets etc. (at least initially)... so want to use the camera with ambient light.
All the primers & guides advise that it is a MUST to use a ‘Magic’ or ‘Pro CY’ filter if you are not using flash.
Ikelite advise they do not produce a filter or fitting for the C-8080 housing, anybody out there use a filter with Ikelite C-8080 housing ? how did you do it/where did you get it .. etc. please let me know.
If you want to use the "magic filter" you can order the 77mm filter and cut it to fit your housing.
Suggest Olympus housing for point and shoot with camera flash. Camera flash can not be used in the Ikelite housing. Strength of the Ikelite system for that particular camera is allowing you to add external flash with real Olympus TTL through a sync cord.............
