Cheers guys, great video. M4/3 is what Anne and I use ourselves. The 8mm Olympus and the 45mm Panasonic are my go to lenses. As well as the smaller size and the somewhat smaller cost of housings, I like the fact that at least with the Nauticam system you can use a really broad range of lenses with only a couple of ports and an extension. Between a 4.33" dome, 20mm extension ring and a 45mm Macro port I'm able to play around with the two 8mm Fisheyes, a 12mm Olympus, 12-50mm Olympus (with a third party zoom gear), 45mm Panasonic, 60mm Olympus, a 30mm Olympus macro and also a couple of more off the wall options the 25mm f1.8 Olympus and 75mm f1.8 Olympus. With the 12-50mm using the WWL-1 or other wet wide angles is an option (which quite a few of our customers have done) and I'm expecting the WWL-C to also work well with it. I'm hoping to give the MWL-1 a try with the 30mm Olympus lens at some stage. Thanks again for doing this vid. Phil
Hi Phil, I am glad that the Nauticam system is working well for you. It is worth pointing out that most housings offer similar lens support and can accept wet lenses too.
Very informative guys! Do you know if it possible to get an adapter for the Nauticam WWL-1 for Olympus housings/ports? I am currently using the 12-40 PRO on an EM-1 Mark 1.
Hi Nick, I have the Ikelite housing so with a single extension ring and dome port i can use the 12-40 Pro and 7-14 Pro. So without changing anything on my housing I get a huge amount of flexibility and all of it with absolutely top-notch Pro lenses. Maybe you have a Nauticam housing?
Kind of surprised you guys didn't mention that the Ikelite system has a single extension ring and dome port that can be used with both the 12-40 PRO and 7-14 PRO - a HUGE amount of flexibility in a single housing system. Now combine that with the fact that the new OM-5 has the same body as the E-M5 III, and you've got a system that can age really REALLY well!

Neither of us shoot with Ikelite, and it is impossible to keep track of all options! This is great information to share on the forums too...
WhatsApp You trink abtut the ne Panasonic Leica 9mm 1,7 Fishey Lense? I Hope this will added to the nauticam Port Chart soon.
