Spent most of tonite placing my E-pl2 system in the for sale forum. Will have to wait until the weekend to post photos of the new rig, and the photos that I took with it last week.

Yes it is fully adjustable. Handles move in and out and also forward and back. Camera slides back and forth across tray. Very very flexible.

Hi Guy:
I have the same system, except that I am using Panasonic 8 mm fisheye for W/A. I put my video focus on continuous plus tracking, and it does quite well. I had a lot more trouble getting it to track with the Pan. 45 mm macro, but haven't done much macro video yet, and plan to get an Olympus 60, which may do better I hope.
Best,
Mel

Yes, I will have to keep experimenting with the video. Macro video is the hardest so I don't know if the 60 will be better than the 45 but I will be trying that also. I asked Reef if there were manual focus gears for the 45 but they said not yet. I am going to have them ask Nauticam about coming up with some for macro video work.
Thought about the fisheye, but I like rectlinear better (personal taste) and also the versatility of the zoom. The 7mm view is really amazing but, of course, not 180 deg. One day I hope for a fisheye zoom for the system and I would consider adding that.

Hi Gary, Thanks for posting. Do you have any wide examples with the 7-14? I keep hearing this lens is really soft once placed in the dome port.

Happysnapper,
You would save everyone some time if you read the attached six page link which contains several photos and a video using the lens with the Nauticam six inch port and with other ports. it becomes clear that if you want to nit pick you can find fault with the lens like with any lens. If you use it knowing what to expect you can get outstanding images.
