I've played yesterday with the Olympus Pen.
Its not a SLR, its not a compactcamera, its a PEN!
what a amazing camera. It is a retrocamera what looks like the old Pen. It is very small and the quality is amazing. Unfortunatly there will be no underwaterhousing from Olympus. There is no underwatersetting in the programm, so that made me believe there won't be one.
Maybe Ikelite will work on it, but the thing is that there shouldn't only be a housing for this camera, but also new ports... I think it is a challenge for the housingmanufactures! I think there is a big group of underwaterphotographers who would love to work with a camera with the quality of an SLR but with the size of an compactcamera.

unfortunatly I do not have a testchard as you have Ryan...
I tried the Sea&sea fisheye dome with two extensionrings (40 + 22). At 30cm away from the subject the pictures are ok for me at aperture 5.6 or 8.
The strange thing was when I shot 60cm away from the subject the cornerunsharpness increased. It was terrible. I thougt the further away the better it would be.
Ryan, did you try this combination on your testchard? What was your opinion about this?
Has anyone an explanation why the cornersharpness increases when I go further away from my subject?

I love to work with high ISO in the murky Dutch waters. This picture is made with ISO 1250 with a visibility of 4 feet.

Hi Ron
Thanks for answering. What a pit you don't have the superdome yet!
I was hoping you could show dome "fieldresults".
