Will the Zen port WA-100 work on the Olympus PT-EP08 housing with the 12-50mm lens on the OMD-EM5 camera?
If so any issues with focus or anything?

Here's a link to my experience with the 12-50 in the Zen dome:

This was in the Oly OMD M1 housing with the Zen adapter for the dome, and although it fits just fine physically, it doesn't work optically. If you stick with the 12-50, you'll need to use the flat port. The electric zoom function works great with the M1, and I think it works somewhat with your M5 (just goes from wide to zoom) but not an issue with your zoom gear- just reiterating my experience in case someone finds this thread in a search sometime.
I bought the flat port and used it with the 12-50 for a while, but ultimately I ended up with the 12-40 in the old 4/3 olympus port. Wish I would have just done that in the first place instead of trying to make the 12-50 work- the Pro lens is that much better. Good luck!
