Athena already makes an adapter which allows any of the Olympus style threaded ports from Olympus, Athena and Inon to be used with the PT-EP01 housing. The cost is around $250.00.

I use it with the 170 mm Athena/Olympus dome port and the 35 mm macro port from Athena.

I'm looking for a way to use my existing Olympus 4/3 50mm F2.0 macro lens on my PT-EP01 for E-PL1, rather than buy a second M43 50mm if and when it appears. (I have the 50mm macro and 4/3 to M4/3 lens adapter, and I hate to duplicate lenses). I'm aware of the m43 Panasonic 45mm F2.8 macro lens, but it's expensive and needs yet another port. What are the options/costs for using the existing Olympus 50mm macro, and who has them stocked?

The Athena adapter lets you mount several ports, for different lenses. Are they standard ports for full sized Olympus housings, or an intermediate threaded version? I found this chart, which includes this adapter:
http://www.athena-opt.com/E-PL1_chart04_for%20Olympus.pdf
It seems that the only supported macro lenses are the 35mm F3.5 macro lens (presumably with MMF adapter) and Panasonic 45mm F2.8 M43 macro lens, but not the larger and nicer 50mm F2.0 macro lens.

I found the "Inon 50 MRS Port" at Reef, what else is needed for that to mount on a PT-EP01?

When I measured the diameter of the 50mm and the M43 lens adapter, it seemed hopeless to pass them through the stock port I had. What am I missing?

Followup: I found the fantic website. Looks like a small shop in Switzerland. Their adapter for the Inon 50 MRS Port seems to be a custom order, not listed on the website. I will check it out when I next visit Switzerland .

For the inon 50 MRS port you need the adapter from ( Fantic.ch ) switzerland. the pics above i made with inon 50 MRS port and 50 mm makro and the adaptor from fantic .ch.
