Help

I need help... I know nothing about u/w photography. Olympus is not very helpful when I call them. I need advice. I ordered the e-620 and the housing knowing nothing about the camera... Hopefully it was a good decision. I was not aware it did not come with a lens housing... I need advice. Should I stick with the lens it came with (14-42 MM) Or any other recommendations on lenses/lens housing. I am anxious to start playing with this thing u/w. These are kindergarten questions. Flash??? Any recomendations on flashes??? There are not a lot of camera shops on oahu to talk with someone so any advice is helpful... I have always wanted to do u/w photography and I have never had more than a disposable camera. Any links to where I can purchase these things would be helpful as well. Thanks so much...

Hello Jana,

I have attached a review I did on this camera and housing that may answer several of your questions.

Most of the images you would want to make can be covered with two lenses, the 9-18 zoom for wide angle and the 50 macro, each requires a different type of dome port. The 14-42 is a good lens for starting out but requires yet a different dome port for best results. A strobe is a must for macro and a lot of wide angle. The Inon S-2000 and Sea & Sea YS-01 can both be fired with fiber optic cords while working in TTL.
