Moving your ZEN ports to the EM5

[PHIL RUDIN]

For those who own Zen Underwater ports for your Pen U/W housing systems and have ask if they will work with the Olympus EM-5 housing this is your answer. Zen has just announced a port adapter which will allow several of the ports to work with the new rotating bayonet style latching system implemented on the Olympus PT-EP008 housing. A new DP-100-EP08 dome port is also being released for use with the Panasonic 8mm f/3.5 fisheye lens. You can see the details and cost on the attached Zen Underwater link. Welcome to zenunderwater.com!

I wonder if the epl-5 and epm2 housings will need adapters....

That is very good news as I am getting ready to sell my PEN system and this will preserve the value of my ports!

Chile,

The PT-EP10 housing for the Olympus E-PL5 should take all of the ZEN PEN housing ports without need for any adapter. I don't think we will be seeing a housing from Olympus for the E-PM2.

Thanks, Phil...that would be unfortunate if there's no e-pm2 housing from oly.

Looking to get an EM-5 with the Oly housing and zen port along with the Pana 8mm. Looks like a great combo, and it will work fine with my Inon's in STTL mode.

Not aware of an adapter being made for the Zen Ports to Nauticam E-M5 housing at this time.
