T-N-T:
I have the same camera as you.
You need an Olympus PT-010 housing and they have been out of production for some time.
Backcsatter.com has them for $289. which is considerably overpriced.
Ikelite makes a housing for it with a suggested retail price of $600.
You may find it worthwhile to get the housing from Backscatter.com. That decision is yours. If you do, I strongly suggest you also get a second camera as they too will not be around much longer. You can get refurbs online for under $200. I have two 4000's and they are both refurbs.
IMHO I don't think it is worthwhile to spend $500 or $600 on an Ikelite housing for that camera at this point in time.
So, about $300. will get you the PT-010 housing and about $500. the housing and a backup camera or you can apply that money to a newer model camera and housing.
