E420 and PT-E03 housing

Has anyone tried to see if the E420 fits in the PT-E03 housing? I guess I got lucky and got one of the last good PT-E03 housings. I would like to buy the 420 as my primary camera and use the 410 as a backup. Also does anyone know if the new 9-18mm lens will need a new port and extension or will one of the existing ports work?

Those who have tried the combo of PT-E03 and E-420 say it works with little modification. Regarding the 9 to 18 zoom I think the 170 mm Olympus/Athena port will work but a shorter port extension will be needed.

hi phil -

enjoyed your review and intro the PT-E03 very much!

I am one of those e410 users and recently my housing flooded - I went ahead and found a used e420 body and was wondering what the little modifications you are talking about.... to make it fit - the program selector guide seems to be too big for the PT-E03 ... can't seem to find any other parts -

Samson,

There were several folks who experienced floods with the PT-E03 housing. You can do a search here and at DDN.
