Can you see through PT-E05 viewfinder (Olympus E520)

I got the PT-E05 housing for E520 yesterday. Of course, in terms of quality it beats using Ewa-marine or similar bags. Controls are nice and easy to use.

 

But the viewfinder concerns me. When I dive I use free-diving, low volume mask. It sits close the face and gives me a good angle of view. Despite the fact that I think it is pretty good mask for underwater photography, I still had some problems using viewfinder of D2H in a bag. But it seems like it is even worse with PT-E05. People who have Olympus housing, is it a problem when you dive? Of course, Live View is too slow to focus to be useful.

 

Thanks,

Eugene

Eugene - Takes a little getting used too but I manage okay. The viewfinder is smaller than most other cameras in its class but it is bright enough to see what you need too.

Yeah, it's a tad small, but I got used to it. You have to just work with the center of your composition and not worry too much about the edges. A focus light helps a lot.
