is there anybody who knows which strobe connector is built on the PT-E03. Is this the Nikonos 5-pins connector? Are there one or two?

I want two use two Sea&Sea YS110 with this housing. Is this possible?
Phil Rudin
All of the Olympus DSLR housings use an Olympus bulkhead. To connect twin YS-110 strobes to fire in TTL you need the Athena TTL conversion circuit.

Hi Phil,

thanks for your fast reply. I dont want to use TTL. What do I need to connect my Sea&sea cable to the Olympus bulkhead?

Hi Karin,

thanks. I have this camera to try and test. Only for one week. In that case I won't buy the connector and ask Olympus to send me their strobe...

Hi Karin,

Using a Olympus land strobe is hardly a fair test compaired to a pair of YS-110 strobes.

I forgot to tell you that your YS-110 strobes can be fired in TTl with the PT-E03 housing and fiber optic cables. The housing allows for the cameras popup strobe to be used, so fiber optics can also be used. Athena has a special adapter coming for this but the cables can be used with the tape on type cable holders in a pinch. You may want to try this for better results.

wow, thats good news! I didn't know that its possible to use an optical cable. Thought that it was not possible to use the internal flash!

thanks for this!
