you don't need to use a zen port with the 9-18mm lens, I use a 9-18 in the standard port. Depends what your shooting but the zen port will widen the angle more than the standard port but you have to be very close to the subject. I would say get the 9-18 then you can always add the dome port at a later date if you need to.
Thank you
Hi,
How do you fit the 9-18mm lens in the Olympus PT-EP05L housing? I can't close the housing with the lens unlocked. Is there a trick or modification needed?
Thanks in advance.
I have the Oly 9-18 and Zen-Pen on my PT-EP03 housing and find it to be an excellent combination. I have done from close-up to CFWA with it, though I prefer the later.
Flat ports are not could for distance or wide angle in most cases one would need an adaptor but there is still a flat lens in the light path~
