[kssim]

Thanks for all the compliments. You guys have been too kind. Hm.. Any pics in particular that you like/dislike and why? Just being curious.

Cat, I'm using the Olympus PT-EP01 housing for my E-PL1.

I'm impress :thumbsup:

Never thought that Oly E-PL1 could produces such good pictures :bigeyes: May I know what Lens are you using ?? :think:

 

[kssim]

Thanks! :embrass:

Yeap. While not quite there yet with the DSLR, the E-PL1 still has a much larger sensor size as compared to the regular compact P&S camera. Currently using the 14-42mm kit lense.

I'm only kind of disappointed that Micro 4/3 system doesn't have an affordable Macro Lens yet. But you are right.... the larger sensor does improve over common PnS :thumbsup:

Mind sharing how much the housing for E-PL1 is selling. Looked at the olympus website but can't find the pricing.

Thanks

Nice Pictures... Feeling the itch to go diving but need to upgrade my UWC first.

Thanks again for all the compliments.

The current setup for this shoot is the Olympus E-PL1 with 14-42mm kit lense in the Olympus PT-EP01 housing. Some of the macro shots were done with the addition of an Inon UCL-165 M67 close up lense. It's a single strobe setup with the Sea&Sea YS-110a and the Sea&Sea arm and tray.
