Oly SP-560 UZ w/ PT-037 Housing

[HammerHead05]

Has anyone tried using the URPRO filters on their Olympus SP-560? I can't find the right size to mount right on the camera and the CLA-10 Conversion Lens Adapter doesn't fit in the housing.

BTW, I contacted Oly and they couldn't tell me the size of the lens!!!!

Hi Hammerhead,

I went ALL the way to Olympus Japan's customer support page for you

Follow the link below, and look under SP560uz.

In short, it says the filter diameter is 48.4mm, and CLA-10 converts 48.4mm to 50mm.

I also use PT-037, and I don't think there's enough space left for a filter to fit in between the camera and the housing glass. Olympus probably wants you to either use one of the "marine modes" or take your pic in RAW mode and develop-control the pic to your liking.

I hope this helps.

Olys specs are hard to find online. They do make the PMLA-01 adapter to fit a 67mm filter or macro lens. I think that is what you need.

I tried that but ended up with only being able to shoot in zoom or else it looked like I was shooting thru a port hole!!!
