Red filter for Olympus PT-027 / c7070

[garryhuang]

Hi guys... seeking help from the veterans of Olympus UW photography..

First off I just got my hands on a Olympus C7070 and the compatible casing PT-027. Wanted to get a casing for my 300D but it was OMG $1200USD so i figured for that price I could get a full Oly setup + strobe...

Now i need to get the red filter (wet, screwable on outside of housing) urgently.. I've been looking for a URPRO Red filter, but I have difficulty finding out where to BUY one

First question: Anyone know the lens thread of the PT-027 please? I bought the housing, but It will only reach me 2 days before i fly off to French Polynesia, and I need to buy the red filter NOW... Google can't seem to tell me NUTS about the lense thread, and neither can the Olympusworldwide.com website...

Second question: Who knows where to get a URPRO, or who's using one right now? Any one using alternatives? I would love to hear about them...

Thanks people! :heart:

1) Why don't you call up Olympus Singapore to ask?

2) Call Scubacam and see if they can advise you on the red filter?

Hey thanks for the ScubaCam reference! I didn't even know they exist (I'm in the US right now). I called them up and geez, they saved me more than 50%! Thank god...
