M4/3 platform and wet lens question

3 posts
  1. Any reason to keep an INON UWL-100 Type 2 wet lens for use with current or future M4/3 camera platform?

     

    I plan on buying an E-PL1 in the very near future. Have all my Oly C-8080 stuff on ebay, once sold I'll order the E-PL1. Then I'll sell off my Cannon A-720IS stuff to fund the PT-EP01 housing. Keeping all tray, strobe, arms, etc.

     

    Which brings me to the INON wet lens. I've had it a year or two, it's in excellent condition, lens isn't scratched nor does it have water spots. Should I keep it or sell it? Money could be used towards funding a second strobe which I could use.

  2. It works like anyother interchangeable lens camera. The close-up lenses work with lenses like the 14-42 mm zoom on the longer end of the lens and the wide wet lenses like yours do not work well. I would let it go and look at the 9-18 or 8 fisheye for wide angel.

  3. Thanks for replying. I posted this on three different forums and heard practically the same thing from all you different people. While it doesn't bother me to take a loss on digital camera and housing, I really hate selling the INON lens simply because it is like new and I know they don't go for much on EBay used, yet it is still a currently manufactured item that sells for over $300 new here in states.
