nice pics like it,

i use the 50mm macro with my epl1 but it is not easy to focus, verry slow. do you focus manuell??

Hi Sail Rock Diver,
no, i use the autofocus.
I use the Inon 45° viewfinder, it is very useful with little subjects

Nice images Scipionems,

The 50 macro is a wonderful lens, I am sure that some of us would like to see how the Inon 45 has been mounted to the housing you are using.

Hi Phil Rudin,
I agree with you, the 50mm macro is a fantastic lens, but only using the Inon 45° viewfinder is possible to use well all the potential of this lens.
Unfortunately i am not so expert to use it well
Here a picture of the housing Oly pt-e05 with the Inon 45° viewfinder.
You suggested me this viewfinder last year and i found it in Europe.
Thank you again for the suggestion

Thanks, I was aware of the adaptation but have never seen on mounted to an Olympus housing. Looks quite nice.

I sold my Inon 45 and moved to the Nauticam 45 when I went to a Nauticam housing from to the SeaTool housing I had for the Olympus E-3. The 45 is great for macro.

Yes this viewfinder is great for macro
I found this adaptation for my Olympus Housing only by Unterwasserkamera.at (an Austrian internet shop).
I have the opportunity to see the Nauticam 45° viewfinder and it is amazing.
It is wider and probably better than the Inon viewfinder.
But i didn't understand how you can lock the viewfinder into the Nauticam housing.
There is some metallic ring or something like that ?
I have a Nauticam housing for my Panasonic Lx5 and it is a fantastic housing for ergonomy and compact dimension.

Lovely set of pics... I would like to know which strobe you are using. I am having much grief with my E520 and UFL-2 strobes. Maybe I am just not understanding the set up quite right. You obviously have it right!

CHeers,

Ciao R-subsea.
I use two Inon D2000 connected with fiber-optic cable.
They works very well with the Oly E-520
