New Olympus E-520 And Housing

[gary-ramey]

Pennywise...any intel on the new housing yet? Oly just told me they'd be shipping mine here "shortly". My E520's are due in today and I'll get a chance to play before the housing comes. I'm really curious about the latching mechanism and how well it seems to clamp the housing shells together.

Hi Gary.
No probs so far with the housing. The closing system consists of a hinge on one side and a rotating latch with spring-loaded lock on the other... new for oly, but I've seen it on other housings. This system clamps the shells properly together.
And for the E520... great cam, tried it with the Zuiko 50mm. Razor sharp macro stuff!!

Grtzzzz,

Rob
