Hi everyone, I'm looking for a housing for the Olympus E-PL3, housing model number PT-EP05/PT-EP05L, just wondering if anyone has one lying around gathering dust? Also if anyone has both a housing & camera I'd be interested in that as well. Many thanks Ash

I have an Oly E-PL3 in the Oly housing, used it for a couple of years and all good, but now looking to upgrade to the NA-EM1 housing as I picked up a body at a good price earlier in the year. Lenses and ports I have for the E-PL3 are: Pana 45mm macro - Zen flat port Oly 9-18 in Zen WA 100 EP 14 - 42 kit lens (hardly ever used it tbh - in stock Oly port or the Zen WA. Pana 8mm - Zen DP100 EP I'm thinking that keeping the above lenses (other than the 14 - 42) is a sensible move, and acquiring ports for them to go on the NA-EM1, but is there anything else I should be considering in terms of lenses and ports? Following on from that - if anyone wants to make me offers of housing and/or ports, or enquiries about the E-PL3 system and ports, then fire away!

Hello, I am selling my two year old Olympus E-PL3 Micro 4/3 camera setup, as I am upgrading to a DSLR. All items are in great condition and are in the original packaging. I am selling: Olympus E-PL3 camera body Olympus 14-42 IIR lens Olympus PT-EP05L housing Inon UWL-H100 28M67 Type 2 Wide Angle Lens Panasonic 45-200mm lens Zoom gear for 14-42 lens Shading rings for the standard port and dome port (dome port not for sale) 2 spare o-rings for housing 2 spare batteries for camera Slot Stay with T base (with spare camera mounting screws) 45cm Flex Arm with YS mount Sea and Sea Fibre optic cable Hoya 37mm Polarising Filter All of the above is in fantastic, almost new condition, and has been well cared for and is in full working order. The housing has never been flooded. The housing and Inon wide angle lens have protective covers that are not pictured. The Panasonic 45-200mm lens has just been used once, and the optics are in like new condition. The Inon wide angle lens also has like new optics and has only been used on one trip (purchased July 2013). This setup has everything that you would need apart from a strobe. It is a great camera and a brilliant step up from a compact camera, with full manual controls and a larger sensor, and is equally a great camera for the more experienced photographer. I have spent over £1900 on this set up. I am looking for £850 given the fantastic condition. I am based in the UK, buyer pays postage or collect. If anyone has any questions, or want more photos, please ask! Many Thanks!!

Lightly used Olympus E-PL3, PT-EP05L ($800) and Zen Port ($500). The camera comes with 14-42mm lens. The housing and Zen Port are in excellent shape. The housing has the clear flash area painted black so the flash light is only through the strobe optical plugs - which means the light blocking shield (preventing backscatter) is not needed and is not included. Also included: Extra genuine Olympus battery ($50) A zoom gear that is compatible with 14-42/9-18mm Olympus lens (PPZR-EP02) ($45) Extra (new) O-ring for the Zen Port ($20) Olympus Port cover Original new price over $1,700 - $950 plus buyer pays shipping and insurance I take PayPal - if you have any questions please let me know. I am selling this gear as I upgraded to the EM5 and Nauticam housing. Thanks for looking - Audrey

Purchased 1/2012. Housing and dome port was bought from Reef Photo, and camera was purchased from Tristate Camera. I sold the wide-angle lens already. The wiring for the twinkle lights on the stock port is disconnected so I can switch to the dome port. You can connect them back if you want. The camera was occasionally used on land, and had about 30 dives in them before I switched to OM-D this year. I would like to sell the Zen WA-100 port first, I don't really have to sell the E-PL3 because I can always use it as a backup. Everything is in good working condition. There are no scratches on the glasses but has small scuffs from normal use on the housing and barrel. I want to get $370 for the WA-100 port, and $800 for the camera/housing combo. If you get both dome port and the Olympus stuff, I will let everything go for $1050. Asking prices include shipping in the continental U.S. and PayPal.

Camera comes with origianl box too.

Looking for the housing for E-P1 or E-PL3 as my second.

When I go on dive trips, I tend to buy some gear, then sell it afterwards since I don't live anywhere that I can regularly dive / shoot. This works out better than renting, especially if I can find used gear to buy. I have sold here (full 7d Ikelite setup) as well as on ScubaBoard and POTN -- all under Iristyle. In December I took a quick trip to the Caribbean and housed my Lumix DMC-ZS7 pocket cam since I needed something really small and was OK with something a little less serious. I recently returned from a longer trip where I housed an Olympus E-PL3 for a few weeks, so was OK with something a bit bigger but with more functionality. At one point, I used my 7d, with DS-160 strobes. Since I know that I intend to resell afterwards, I try to take great care of the gear -- I'm particular about long rinses in freshwater after every salt exposure, etc. Some of the kit, I'm going to hold on to for next time, but some of the bigger ticket items I must part with for now. I'm getting everything listed now, and will provide pics later. All gear includes original materials, manuals, and is in excellent shape unless otherwise noted. Prices are for PP cash, add 3% if using PP credit. Shipping is included - my choice of USPS priority, USPS first class or FedEx. From Olympus setup - parts purchased in May from Bluewater Photo - used 2 weeks * 10Bar E-PL3-Z housing for Olympus E-PL3 with dome port for 14-42 lens - paid $940 - ask $890 http://www.bluewater...s-e-pl3-housing - Scott has a good video review there Somehow I managed to put a tiny surface scuff, about 3mm in length in the dome port -- probably from trying to get close to a nudibranch -- does not affect IQ. There are a couple of minor rubs on the outside of the dome, that again, do not affect performance. * 10Bar 67mm Adapter for Semi-dome - paid $48, ask $40 Clips onto the front of the dome and allows a 67mm wet lens to be snapped on or off * Bluewater Fiber cable from 10bar housing to Sea&Sea strobe - paid $50, ask $40 Does what it says ;0 From Lumix setup - parts purchased around Dec from Reef Photo, Amazon - used for 1 week * Panasonic DMW-MCTZ10 housing for Lumix TZ8, TZ10 (ZS7) - paid $230 + $95 for adapter - ask $280 Will sell only with the Deeproof M67 MCTZ10 adapter for 67mm wet lenses http://www.divervisi...e9h4aok6i6om0o0 The housing was used (but looked brand new) from Amazon, the adapter was new * Ulcs universal tray with two padded handles paid $90 used, ask $70 Was used when purchased. The tray has a taller handle, and a half-height handle -- worked well for me on both housings * Inon Cap W35 - paid $30, ask $20 This is what you need to get a regular fiber cable to attach to the DMW-MCTZ10 housing - includes the special plastic cap piece that screw locks into the housing, reflector stickers, stickers for dimming the camera strobe, etc Some older items that I didn't sell last time -- and forgot to relist! * Ikelite 100/240V smart charger with international plugs - paid $100, ask $85 http://www.adorama.c...2point0Product1 * Ikelite 4066.5 NiMh spare battery for DS-160, DS-125 - MSRP $165, ask $110 I got it used, but never had a problem * Ikelite 9571.3 - 1" ball for Ikelite release handle extender - paid $25, ask $20 http://www.bhphotovi...Extender_1.html When I sold the 7d setup, I sold off one of these, but not the other -- whoops. I have a couple of Sea&Sea strobes - YS-01 and YS-D1. I could be convinced to sell the YS-01, but only if it's going to go with one of the larger items. * Sea & Sea YS-01 strobe - bought back for Dec trip, ask $400 If I sold this, I would include the ULCS ballhead adapter for Sea&Sea (paid about $25) Pictures to come...

Hi All, I'm an experience diver, and I take many UW photos with P&S camera, and now I'm thinking about upgrading to mirrorless. I have very little knowlage about lens, so bare with me I usually take macro shots, but some wide angle shots also, I would like to have the flexibility to change from wide to macro underwater (I understand it will damage the quality), my question is, what is better: using a 14-42mm with wet 0.56x wide angle and +10 diopter or using 12-60mm with a dome? Is there a big diffrence using them? Thanks in advance, Asaf. P.s. 14-42 comes with the kit & the 12-60 is this lens - Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 12-60mm 1:2.8-4.0 SWD
