    Oly 5060 wideangle needed for extreme ironing

    We're off down to Chepstow at the weekend (along with 148 other mad souls) for the extreme ironing event.

    Digger has been volunteered (by me) to take photos in the shallows, which leads to my request:

    Does anyone have a wideangle attachment which would fit the Olympus PT27 housing which they wouldn't mind lending us for use on Saturday?

    We don't have a strobe, and we're expecting the vis to be pretty pants, so need to be as near to the ironers as possible to get a half-decent shot - a wide angle would make this much easier!

    I promise that we'd take very good care of it And of course, a suitable donation will be made to the RNLI pot. Could pick up from Uxbridge / Hemel / London / somewhere near there, or generally sort something out.

    Thanks in advance,
    Amy.

    I'll bring my underwater kit - he can use that. I have WA lense, stobe, housing and a Nikon P5000. It should be simple enough, even for digger to use!

    You star! We've got a basic kit, but it is only the camera and housing...

    We'll bring that down with us anyway, that way there's some redundancy. Shall give you something for the RNLI pot on Sat.

    Makes sense to me, but I thought it was a lens? Keeps the camera the same, and I've used a lens with it before, so one less thing to think about...

    Digs.
