Built for the Olympus E-900 camera, this housing offers exceptional functionality and reliability, making it a favorite among underwater enthusiasts and professionals alike.

The housing is designed with built-in optical connectors, allowing for easy integration with Ikelite strobes and providing photographers with the ability to utilize powerful lighting setups underwater. This capability ensures well-lit compositions even in dimly lit environments.
