Panasonic just released (April 30th, 2007) a U/W housing for the DMC-TZ3 camera.

Cheers.

PS: I’ve just recieved it in the mail and am anxious to try it with some of Rowland’s and Mustard’s “Magic Filters”

Wow,.. looks like a big front glas!
You will need the 5x5 centimeter Magic Filter for that, I suppose.

How does the magic filter work when the internal flash is used?

Actually you shouldn’t use at the same time. You decide if you either want to
shoot with the filter or with the flash. nevertheless if there is a situation where
you decided to go with the filter and then suddenly you see the macro shot of
your life you need to make the white balance with the flash switched on.

I too have just received my TZ3 housing.
Does anyone know how I can use it with a wet wide angle lens?

I have an Epoque 0.55x that I used to use with a Canon Ixus400 housing but it gets terrible vingetting unless the TZ3 is seriously zoomed and that defeats the object ....
