problems with the olympus pt=020

1 posts
  1. I have an OLY c=5060=wz with a pt=020 uw case, suited with the OLY fl=20 flash into a pfl=01 case.

    I am very happy with the relation between the price and the posibilities of this equipment, but I-ve had two problems with te same piece that are changing my thinking about it. Both problems have been with the connector for the flash located on the upper left corner of the case.

    The first time, a pin of the connector was broken and and I sent the case to the official service Olympus. they sent me back a new one with no objection. but witth the new case, in the first dive I made with it, the whole piece was broken when I unescrewed the connection cord of the flash. fortunaltely it happened out of the water and my camera is allright.

    the worst of this is that this happened a few days before a diving trip to Madeira and Olympus could not solve my prolblem in time. now I hope they solve my prolblem, but I think there is a problem with the resistance of the materials of this case and I am really afraid of my cameras future. I am extremely carefull with the care about my camera, the place I connect the equipment and so. Thats why Im afraid that many people not so carefull as me can have a lot of problems with this case.

    If I had to buy again I would repeat the camera but not the case. my problem is that my oly flash with the oly ttl sistem must not be able to be connected with another case.

    can anybody tell me about this.........regards to everybody and good dives.
