TG Camera/ M52 air lens

I hope it is okay to hijack this for a side question: Is there such a wide angle lense that is compatible with the TG4 housing?

I believe the Olympus PT-56 for the TG-4 has 52mm threads that will accept the M52 Air lens and the M52 Wide Angle lens.

Correct. Basically, all the TG housings are similar except for control positions to match changes of the camera inside.

My air lens just arrived today (I’m upgrading from a Nikon w300 to a tg6) and it floods without burping. I already tested it out in a bucket. Maybe the original version was closed off? Or maybe they recommend burping to ensure there aren’t any air pockets? Although from how large the holes are, I don’t see that really being a problem. Now I just need to find a compact flash for macro work and I think I’ll be set.

It will be week after next, but I'll try it. I can't believe that I missed it with all the times I've watched it.

Sorry, I forgot to quote you so you’d see it in my previous post and couldn’t figure out how to edit it to do that. See above.

I have the newer one as well, but I always check for bubbles, and I seem to always have a few on both the air lens and the housing lens, so make sure to check both.
