If the concern is the price, probably no alternative the 45 on the port name refers to distance from port flange to the port glass and if you use a longer flat port you risk vignetting if the lens is not close enough to the port glass. The closest is a N100 flat port 50.
Many thanks for that! Will be exactly what I will do.

The Nauticam A1 housing is a little over 60% more expensive than the OM-1 housing. Similarly ports are more expensive and larger.
True, but then you'd need to buy a new $2200 body, which will eat most, if not all, of the savings. Honestly, if I had an A1, I don't think I could imagine using any other camera underwater.

FYI - I bought this recently and removed the focus knob. Super easy and it works well.
