Newbie to dSLR- Oly 330- Question about old lenses

[CA Diver]

I purchased the Olympus E-300 in August of Last year along with the Olympus Pt-E01 housing. You need to be aware that the pinset in the strobe bulkhead for olympus housings are proprietary and will not easily connect to standard underwater srtrobes. I have been struggling with getting a converter from Michael Finger in Germany for a few months. He is the only person that makes the conversion cords that I am aware of. This may influence your decision on a housing. This is a critical decision to make before you spend another $1,300 on a housing. I did not do this homework before purchasing. I had been very happy with my C-3040 and PT-10 housing so I continued with the Olympus family and have been frustrated ever since.

What? And the FL20 isn't a quality UW strobe?!? LOL Totally intended as a joke - please don't take it seriously!

Convert your bulkhead to an Ikelite like this $40 setup for the Ikelite bulkhead and Paramount hotshoe. This one has never miss fired yet.

I am interested in learning more about the Oly 330 so please keep us posted on your housing and lens experiences! Good Luck!

I just got the Olympus E-330 and will probably purchase a housing later this summer or fall. (I am hoping to become more familiar with using the camera and a couple of lenses before taking it underwater.) I want to research housings and find out which are compatible with strobes, etc.
I know that Oly has the Pt-E02 housing and I am wondering if I can use my Sea & Sea YS-90 TTL/Auto Duo strobe with it?
Would a conversion as shown in the previous post work with the Pt-E02?
