Olympus E-PL7 Underwater Housing

This is a  lightweight underwater housing is customized to fit the Olympus E-PL7. They changed the port and made the port much smaller. Though it’s smaller, lighter and thinner than ever, the PT-EP12’s precisely engineered polycarbonate shell provides waterproof protection to a depth of 147 feet (45 meters). Designed to accommodate the physical challenges of underwater photography, this case gives you comfortable access to all camera controls as well as the flexibility to expand your underwater system with a range of high-quality M.Zuiko prime lenses. Unfortunately, our favorite lenses are not supported.
