Adorama sells the Ikelite 6130.1 for your camera.

You aren't going to like the price though - $500...

B&H has it for $479, but they're out of stock.

I own two C4000Z's and two PT-010's and am quite content with them as I have also invested in a strobe and wet mount lenses for them.
My honest opinion to you is to not spend the money on an Ikelite housing for that camera unless you are also willing to purchase another C4000Z as a backup, if they are still available? Finding a refurbished one online is fine as both mine are refurbs.
If your camera dies down the road and there are no more C4000Z's around you will be left with a $500. housing that cannot be used with another camera.
Having spent $150. on a PT-010 is far different than $500. on an Ikelite.
My suggestion to you is to invest in another camera and housing that is more current whether it be Canon or Olympus.

Do an Ebay search, you may get lucky.
