Soooo... anyone got this combination? Olympus has released a flash housing that mates to the PT-020 housing for the C5060, for TTL flash photography underwater.

Reviews?
 
I only know 2 people who've gotten the 5060 and neither one has the housing yet. I've heard the housings for the flash and add-on lens won't be released until spring.
 
From what I read on the net, some people seemed to be skeptical about Oly flash housing as it is not a very powerful flash so may be it won't all that useful except for macro. Also the flash will sit right on top of the housing so backscatter could be a problem.
The better solution I think is the Ikelite strobe, if you want TTL with 5060. Now, just hope Ike will offer it to C5050 as well.
(I apologize that I am repeating this a bit a other threads as well, hope Ike is reading so I can get a little lobbying campaign going for the C5050 TTL :) )
