More housing... but less space...!

Full press release

The housing for the EM5 is a unique collection of crafting skill, from the developer team of Nauticam.
All the latest features gathered into a housing small enough to fit into your travelling handbag and taken on the plane. Quality and functionality in a fantastic combination!

LENSES:
It’s all about the glass, and lenses are the key to terrific photography.
The m4/3 system supports a large range of high quality lenses produced by Olympus and Panasonic (partnering with Leica), and third party lenses from Sigma are starting to appear.
Several lenses that perform extremely well underwater are available (and reasonably priced!).

Here are some examples:

* Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-50mm F3.5-6.3 EZ: The ultimate jack of all trades tool, this lens covers a very usable mid range, and features a unique macro mode. Shoot dolphins and nudibranchs on the same dive!

* Panasonic Lumix G Fisheye 8mm/F3.5: This 180º fisheye lens focuses close and is razor sharp. Combines with a small port, there is no better CFWA (close focus wide angle) option on the planet.

* Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 60mm f/2.8 Macro: This is an ideal macro lens for m4/3, and by adding the Nauticam CMC, it becomes a super macro monster. Imagine filling the entire width of the frame with something only 8mm wide!

* Panasonic Lumix G Vario 7-14mm f/4.0 ASPH: The 7-14mm is a rectilinear lens, ideal for shooting people or sharks or wrecks… subjects where the fisheye distortion is not welcome. On the wide end, this lens 114º wide, ideal for getting close to subjects to reduce the amount of water shot through. But a zoom gets to 75º – ideal for reaching out to that subject that is a little more skittish. The very similar Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 can serve the same basic role at a lower cost.

There are many more options for the underwater photographer, including any of the several 14-42mm options:

* The Panasonic Lumix G X VARIO 12-35mm F2.8 ASPH. POWER O.I.S.
* Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO
* Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-32mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH
* Panasonic Lumix G 14mm F2.5 ASPH
* Leica DG Macro Elmarit 45mm F2.8 ASPH. (On top of that, the Nauticam Compact Macro Converter (CMC) will fit right this)
