Is the 12-50 really 'one lens to rule them all'

[Enoshima]

Thank you for the voluble info. Appreciate an idea how to make the 12-50mm work with the Oly PT-EP05, yet without having to spend on a new Nauticam hosing.

The only option is putting a dome port on the PT-EP05L, in stead of the standard port.
According to this German guy, the Zen WA-100 port has enough space for the 12-50. Zen also lists the PT-EP05L as working with the dome port, but not the 12-50 lens (possbily due to lack of official zoom gear).

In my first post in this topic, there is a link to the unofficial zoom gear for the 12-50.

My source for the 12-50 not fitting the PT-EP05L is this site by the way (the 60mm macro is identical in length to the 12-50):

I was wondering if the lens (12-50) would fit in the standard (14-42/9-18) 10bar semidome port? I would prefer somewhat better+wider optics as the 14-42.
