Fisheye options for Oly EPL-1 housing: the Athena system or waiting for "the real deal"

  1. AFAIK, the only option for now to mount a 8mm Fisheye lens in this housing is by using the Athena system:

    Do any of you have experience with this system? Is there any place in europe or US to buy this system?

     

    Is there other options?

     

    Probably an original domeport for a coming m43 8mm fisheye will come next year, but its to long to wait..

  2. You could try unterwasserkamera.at. He is very reliable and usually well stocked.

  3. ZEN Underwater is working on a full line of ports for the 8 mm fisheye, Pany 7-14, Pany 45 macro and the released ZEN for the 9-18 zoom.

     

    For those that already own Olympus, Athena and Inon ports for the 4/3 system housings Athena has a port mount which works with some of the lenses.

     

    The ZEN ports are by far the better choice for all of these lenses.
