Never used dual S&S cord. I had this as a back-up, but it has never been attached to housing or strobes or never in water.
$194.95 NEW. Complete with original package, S&S 0-ring lube, and instructions.
I offer at $99.00 USD with free USPS priority within the USA. I accept PayPal.

Hi Adam,
Thank you for your hard work and diligence in maintaining this site. BUT, I strongly prefer the granularity of the former structure.
Best Regards,

I have used black gaffesr tape and it has worked best for me. I found electrical tape to be a little more reflective in certain lighting conditions, especially when using a surf housing, and I am above water shooting surfers.
Yes, gaffer's tape does not leave a residue when removed and sticks very good. No reflective etc. I use it on camera and when shooting 4x5t to attach filters to the back of lenses.

Thanks Chris,
Good to know.

Yo Chris,
"I have an EM-1 MkII and it appears to have a way to assign a focus limiter to a button, so maybe search through what programmable function buttons you have available."
Please explain how to do this.

I have the Nauticam EM-5 Mark I kit and recently purchased the EM-1 Mark II camera (currently $1500 USD). I hope to get the housing before our fall trip to Indonesia.
The EM-1 II is super fast and has 4K video. If you go from the EM-5 I to II you will save beaucoup coins (including very fast and expensive cards) over the EM-1, but I think you would a kit that would be top notch for the future. Besides, the EM-1 is a great topside camera (currently shooting nesting raptors with a 300 mm lens).
Regards,
Bob

I'm just learning to use the 60mm lens w/my GH5 camera. First dive I put the focus limit switch to .19-infinity. This setting allowed great versatility (up close macro, or larger subjects from 2-3m away). Unfortunately in this position, the lens/camera tended to focus on the furthest item in the field of view. For example, when trying to focus on a small fish that was up close, the camera/lens would focus on a fan coral in the background. I could manually work around the issue by focusing the camera on my hand then moving the camera to focus on an object, but that was a pain.
I eventually put switch to the .19-.4 position, and resigned myself to not being able to focus outside that range.
I'm wondering if there is a way to program the limit switch function in the camera.
I have set this lens for the close range and found to be to limiting. In days of olde, I would prefocus at the desired distance, lock focus and aim at the subject( a tip from Jim Church). Also, switch to manual focus to tweek.
Regards,
Bob

Thanks Chris for the input. Olympus tech. recommends Sandisk Extreme PRO UHS-II U3 300MB/s for 4K video. I ordered some UHS-I 90 MB/s for my wife's camera. I may have to steal them 80)

Well! Not to be too pedantic, what we are discussing is reduced pressure. There is a scientific definition for a vacuum which can not be achieved with this apparatus. "Nature abhors a vacuum", but these systems are a really helpful.

"BTW I just started shooting the Oly 12-50 "electric" zoom which I have a port for but not the gear ring."
Oh do get the gear ring. A bit of a bear to set up, but a nice option.
-
OK, now I understand. thanks. You want BOTH slots to be UHS-II. And, I had forgotten that the Mk II has two slots. Living in the past....
Hey, I have the E-M5 Mark I and the E-M10 Mark I; now that is the past! What generation is your E-M10?
-
Yes sir. The E-M1 MII has two slots and a dual processor that allows for 60 fps burst shooting (18 fps w/continuous autofocus). So, two UHS-II slots instead of one UHS-I and UHS-II each would be handy. Sandisk Extreme PRO UHS-II with U3 is one of the recommended cards, and has a speed rating of 300MB/s. Good for 4K video and burst shooting.
-
Sorry, I don't understand this comment.
UHS-II is backwardly compatible. It will accept UHS-I, SC***, etc. Also, use the UHS-II for both video and high burst mode for land pics.
-
Thanks tursiops for your input. Olympus support link for tested cards in the E-M1 MII:

For a few dollars more, maybe two UHS-II slots would have been good.

I recently bought the panasonic 12-35mm for rhinopias (I shoot video)
Think this would be a bad choice?

On the pany G5?
-
The adult Rhinopias is about 6+ inches long. I used the 12-50 on the E-M5 (older mark I) in Indonesia. The water was fairly clear. I did not need macro close focus. What is the minimum focus distance for the 12-42?
-
Pardon me if there is a thread on this topic. I searched and did not find any results. I am about to purchase an Olympus E-M1 Mark II and would like some of your suggestions for memory cards.
UHS-II for raw?
UHS-I for video?
Video: ? MB/s write ?MB/s read ?U/V/Class min. write?
Raw: same questions
What brand of cards are giving you good results?
TIA,
Bob

Did you mean the pany 8-18 mm? I did not find a Panasonic 8-16. Nauticam makes a port for this lens for the EM-1 M II.
-
Hi Adam,
I use both the 12-50 mm with gear & the 60 mm with gear in the Nauti 12-50 port. No problem with either. Nauticam housing for Oly E-M5 Mark I. The 60 focus gear will cover the 60 lens focus limit switch.

Thanks for the offer Big Trev. I finally gave up searching for mine and order a new one. I have been remiss by not posting this sooner.

I seem to have misplaced mine.

Good suggestions. Back the dark ages before reliable AF, we would pre-focus as mention above on the palm of the hand, fin, or a appropriate distance object with enough contrast.
-
I prefer using the view finder on my Oly EM5. As mentioned above, the screen can be useful to sneak the camera closer to shy subjects.

The short answer is YES! Think of it as a one time payment for an insurance policy. Stuff happens. Camera replacement, loss of SD card, battery, and housing rebuild = a couple grand.
