Substitue PT-EPO5lLHousing for PT-EP10?

[Ryan B.]

Or even earlier housings, I suppose.
I have the E-PL5 -- because I can afford it and because it's good -- and was wondering if the camera was similar enough to its forebear, the E-PL3, to fit in the E-PL3's PT-EP-05L housing?
For the E-PL5's housing, the PT-EP10, Olympus removed the 67mm thread that graced the PT-05L and allowed one to use wet wide-angle adapters like the Inon UWL-H100 M67. The -10 now has greater diameter glass on the front port, but it's still flat glass, and that will inhibit the utility of the Zuiko 9-18mm wide angle lens, limit flexibility, and cost more.
I don't know if the E-PL1's housing, the PT-EP01, or the E-PL2's housing, the PT-EP03 -- dang that was hard to type -- have the 67mm thread, but I wonder if they could accommodate the E-PL5 as well.

Each housing is custom made for each camera. One draw back to the PT-EP-05L is it will not accept the excellent Olympus 60mm 2.8 macro lens. The 9-18mm needs to be shot behind the Zen Pen Dome for best results Manufacturer :: Zen Ports :: Zen Pen Dome - Olympus 14-42/9-18 lens -. This is true for all the Olympus housings.
