Olympus 7-14mm F2.8 on PT-EP10

Hi everyone,

I'm using Olympus E-PL5 with Olympus PT-EP10 Housing.

Recently, I want to buy an Ultra WA lens. The highly reviewed Olympus M.Zuiko 7-14mm F2.8.

However, I couldn't find any port that matches my housing with the lens.

I know Zen made a port for the Pana 7-14mm.

I also know that isn't a problem with Nauticam housing.

But I will prefer to buy the Olympus 7-14mm over the Pana.

Anyone came across this dilemma? Care to share?

Thank you in advance.

Tim

I believe the problem is the smaller port size used on the Pen series housings, the Olympus 7-14mm is just too big to fit in the ports. The Panasonic is a much smaller lens so you are bale to use it with the Pen series ports. Believe it fits no problem on the larger ports like used on the EM-1 housing.

The Nauticam housing requires you to install the camera in the housing then install the lens on the camera and install the dome port over the lens, again the lens/gear is too big to fit through the N85 port on the Nauticam, from inside the housing. The specific requirement is for the N85-N120 adapter and extension ring and the N120 170m dome port.. All due to the large OD of the lens (79mm)

Hi Tim

I don’t think that combo is possible with the EPL Series :-(

I know that AOI make a port for that lens for the OMD housings

But I think the port fitting is different between the EPL and OMD housings.
