pt020 housing with sea and sea macro / wide angle lenses

i'm looking at getting the oly 5060 with the pt-020 housing. does anyone know if the wide angle and macro lenses i currently use on my motormarine 2ex will fit directly to this housing?

i know an adaptor can be bought for the pt-015 and other housings (005,007 and 010). from what i can gather, the bayonet adaptor for these housings screws into the 67mm thread. would i be correct in saying that it will also be required for the pt-020?

i've seen the strobe adaptor from http://www.muenster.de/~matthias/blitz/indexe.htm to allow me to use the ys60 strobe (half the battle won already!), but just need to know if i can use those other bits'n'bobs.

cheers!

The filter size on the PT-020 housing is 67mm however the lenses will not work correctly for several reasons, including the fact that the 5060 moves the zoom lense front element farther from the port at the wide setting (28mm) so you will have some wild vignetting. Also the housing lense barrel is clear, so you get a lot of stray light entering as well. The only way to get good wide angle with the 5060 is by using the ikelite housing and dome port with the internal Olympus wide converter, which is made specificly for the 5060.

thanks doug.

i spoke to someone at camerasunderwater yesterday and was basically told that the mm lens adaptor would fit the 020 but the results with the wide angle wouldn't be good. there is no need for the macro lenses as the oly has the super macro mode which renders the add on lens superfluous. the 020 does allow for an alternative port to be used in place of the standard one which will allow the use of the wide angle add on lens to be bolted to the camera inside the housing.

when i get the thing, i'll probably give the wide angle lens a go just by holding it against the front port. nothing to lose apart from a minute of dive time.
