I just got an e-mail newsletter from 10Bar which states they are planning (subject to change) to make a housing for the Panasonic GF1.  Customer interest could help make this happen, here’s the email address - .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) let ‘em know you want one.

Hey masguy,

thanks for sharing the information. Hope enough people will join..

ciao Lars

Thanks for the link. I have put my request in.
Out of interest, what are your views on the lenses that you would use with it? I have have a look online, and can see that there is a wide angle available, but couldn’t see any mention of a macro lens.

Regards

10bar’s GF1 housing fitted with (compact) dome or flat port for resp. Panasonic’s soon-to-be-there 8mm fisheye and Leica’s 45mm macro would be quite a nice setup I think.

The 10bar housing for my Lx3 has a 67mm port which means I can use my “wet” macro and wide angle lenses on it.  If they make a housing for the GF1 with a 67mm port, I’ll try my lenses first. I also have and old Nikon close up element that fits on the GF1 kit zoom.

UnterwasserKamera (an austrian online dive shop) has the 10bar housing listed for 790€, incl. port for the 14-45mm kit-zoom. Can’t tell though whether it’s possible to screw on any wet lenses? There’s no specs yet on 10bar’s website.
