My New Toy

[davelew]

Here it is, my new toy:

It's a housing for an Olympus E-P1 camera, with an adapter to use water-corrected Nikonos lenses. I'll be testing it out next weekend in Florida.

Thats awesome. Did you build the housing?? I cant wait to see test pics!!

Yes, I built the housing. Basically, I designed a housing that fulfilled my own particular wish list for an underwater camera housing (water-corrected lenses, easy access to manual controls, high quality sensor, small package, fiber-optic strobe triggers, strobe arm mount directly above the lens).

I'll be at the DEMA tradeshow this weekend to talk to underwater photography stores about selling some of my housings. So far, I've been really surprised at the high levels of interest -- I only planned to go down for two of the four days of the show, and now both days are booked solid with meetings.

I used to think I was the only one with my particular wish list, but now it sounds like other people might be interested as well!
