Any Olympus fans at DEMA please stop by the Reefphoto Video booth and say hello. I will be working their through the end of the show. We have the new Zen ports on display for the Oly E-PL1 housing.

The new ZEN Underwater ports for the Olympus PEN housing are as follows,

Panasonic 8mm fisheye port, much like the Tokina 10-17 port glass, $799.00.

Panasonic 7-14 zoom, same glass size as the 9-18 port only shorter, $499.00.

Olympus 9-18 port, $499.00.

Panasonic/Leica 45mm macro, $399.00 glass port. 67mm adapter can be had.

The Olympus 9-18 port is selling very well and the others are ready or near ready for shipment.

They are all the same high quality optically coated glass ports we have come to expect from ZEN.

I also came home with a prototype swivel tray for the PEN housing and an LCD screen magnifier that slides into the track for the LCD shade. I will be bata testing both over the next few weeks and giving my imput. Look for a review to follow. I will also be testing the Inon housing for the Panasonic GF-1 in the near future.

Nauticam voiced interest in a future housing for an uncoming PEN camera as well.

Nauticam had a large booth at DEMA and the Sony NEX-5 housing had some of the largest buzz at the show.

Reef is currently taking orders for the 7-14mm Zen port which should be shipping end of November. Don't know about the other two (8mm and 45mm) since I went with the 7-14.

By the way, Amazon and Buy.com (through BHPhoto or Adorama) have the 7-14mm lens for ~$920 range shipped.
 
Stopped by. Thanks for the chat and recommendations, and taking my call . I forgot to tell you I won a Flip UltraHD, so I think I am going to get the Ikelite case for it.

Great to talk to you.
