Flip diopter holder for E- PL housings

Post by cardiver »

I just picked this up last week and haven't had a chance to use it yet. The craftsmanship appears to be first rate!

Seems kind of expensive for what it does. Get it from Optical Oceans?

The Nauticam brand for their housings is about 250.00 and flips out to the side. This is a much better idea, IMHO.
The ridiculous plastic piece that Oly sells is 55.00
The guy that makes them is over seas. I got mine in about 7 days.....

Any idea how it compares to this for about half the price?

It doesn't compare, as it will not mount on the Oly flat port.........
