Nauticam Housing for Olympus OM-D E-M1

We have tested this camera and housing and it is awesome!

DISCONTINUED

Part # Nau-17806

Great New Features of the Nauticam OM-D E-M1 Underwater Housing:

Easy to use push on port lock, large selection of ports and zoom gears to match the ever increasing line of lenses and more.
Redesigned shutter button works more like a dSLR shutter
New molded grips, just like their dSLR housings
Electronics for vacuum system will be included
45 and 180 degree viewfinders supported
Housing is a little larger than the OM-D E-M5 housing, partially because the E-M1 camera is larger than the E-M5

Best lenses for the Nauticam OM-D E-1 Housing:

Panasonic 8mm fisheye lens (widest option, best price), behind a 4-inch dome
- Best for Close Focus Wide Angle and sweeping reefscapes, mantas, whales, whale sharks
- Use the Zen Glass 4" dome for best optical quality
- Olympus 8mm Pro fisheye costs more, but has exceptional image quality
Panasonic 7-14mm F4 lens, behind a 6-inch dome
- Best for overall wide angle, sharks, pelagics, large subjects and over / under shots
- Olympus 7-14mm F2.8 lens cost more, and needs an additional port adapter, but is one stop brighter and has exceptional image quality
Olympus 9-18mm lens, behind a small semi-dome port
- Less expensive than the Pan 7-14, great for wide angle, large pelagics
For video - Panasonic 7-14mm, Olympus 7-14mm F2.8 or Panasonic 12-35mm lens
Mid-range - Olympus 12-40mm or Olympus 12-50mm lenses
- Use Nauticam's specialized zoom gear with the 12-50mm for a multipurpose zoom + macro lens.

Nauticam OM-D E-M1 port choices

Wide-angle lenses will use a dome port.
Mid-range and macro lenses will use a flat port, although the Olympus 12-40mm F2.8 lens must be used behind a larger 6-inch dome port.
Zen also has a new glass 7-inch dome which is great for over/under shots (split shots) with the 7-14mm , 9-18mm lens, or Panasonic 12-35mm lens

Call the Bluewater Photo staff to find out which ports are right for you.

Olympus OM-D E-M1 Camera:

The new OM-D E-M1 camera promises incredible focusing speed with both phase and contrast detection available. With a revolutionary new design for mirrorless cameras this new camera makes the gap between small "travel-friendly" cameras and large high quality dSLR cameras even smaller. Able to compete against some of the top of the line dSLR in terms of function, speed and quality the new OM-D E-M1 is blazing the way for mirrorless cameras.
