CS-38B Leather Body Jacket

The CS-38B is a genuine leather body jacket designed exclusively for the OLYMPUS PEN Lite E-PL5 / OLYMPUS PEN mini E-PM2. It protects the sensitive parts of the camera body without detracting from its design. In addition to the practical aspect of camera body protection, the body jacket's genuine leather and rugged construction combine casual, contemporary styling with the rugged elegance of traditional craftsmanship. That stylish appearance is enhanced by a choice of four colors for easy coordination with the CSS-S109LLII Leather Shoulder Strap, A recessed mounting screw ensures that the bottom of the jacket is flat, providing maximum stability when the camera is set down and enhancing its sleek looks. A tripod can be attached without removing the jacket, and, of course, shooting and playback is possible while viewing the rear-panel LCD without taking the camera out of the body jacket.

MCG-3PR Premium Camera Grip (Dot / Hounds tooth Check / Stripe patterns)
LC-37PR Premium Lens Cap (Dot / Hounds tooth Check / Stripe patterns)

The OLYMPUS PEN Lite E-PL5 employs the same interchangeable grip design first made popular by the OLYMPUS PEN E-P3. Available in three patterns, the MCG-3PR Camera Grip makes it easy to accessorize with style. The matching LC-37PR Lens Cap, available in the same three patterns, lets the user create a color-coordinated combination that enhances the system's sense of integration.
The Dot, Hounds tooth Check, and Stripe patterns are inspired by popular and traditional fabrics that are always in style. Wrapping the entire camera with a unique, integrated image, they allow the user to enjoy the satisfaction and pride of ownership that customization entails. The camera grip can also be used with the E-P3.

CBG-8 Camera Bag

The CBG-8 is a 3-way type camera bag that can be hung across the shoulder, carried by hand or used as a bag-in-bag. It has a detachable inner pocket, which is partitioned to enable storage of other items in addition to the camera and lenses, such as a smartphone, while the outer pocket is large enough to accommodate a tablet PC or A4-size file folders. Designed with meticulous care, this attractive bag is made even more appealing with distinctive touches such as camera-pattern printing on the lining.

BCL-1580 Body Cap Lens (15mm f8)

The BCL-1580 is a lens that is so thin – just 9mm thick – that it can easily be mistaken for a camera-mount body cap. With three glass lens elements in three groups, it can be used as a wide-angle lens equivalent with a single focal length of 30mm (35mm camera equivalent). In addition to daily use as a "pan-focus" lens featuring a wide angle, fixed f8 aperture and shallow depth of field, it is compatible with manual focusing using a lever and capable of close-up shooting as close as 30 cm. A lens-protection barrier is provided so the lens can be mounted permanently on the camera and even put in a pocket together with the camera. Serving as a body cap when carrying the camera and as a pan-focus snapshot lens when taking pictures, this lens is the ideal choice for everyday shooting.

PT-EP10 Underwater Case

The PT-EP10 is a genuine underwater case designed exclusively for use with the OLYMPUS PEN Lite E-PL5, making it possible to create a reliable underwater photography system^* capable of withstanding depths up to 45 meters.
Included with the PT-EP10 underwater case is a large diffuser that allows it to be used in combination with the removable flash (provided with the camera body). The provided flash features wireless flash control capability so the UFL-2 Underwater Flash can be fired from the camera.
The lens port integrated with the case can accept the PTWC-01 Underwater Wide Conversion Lens or PTMC-01 Underwater Macro Conversion Lens for easy wide-angle or macro underwater shooting.

To enable easy shooting of underwater pictures with vivid colors, the underwater white balance control function incorporated in the OLYMPUS PEN Lite E-PL5 detects and corrects underwater color tones that can vary depending on such factors as water depth, weather and seawater condition. Underwater images with almost no blue color cast can be captured even when shooting movies.

*	Lenses compatible with this underwater case include the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 II, M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 IIR, M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 60mm f2.8 Macro, M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 45mm f1.8 and M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75mm f1.8.
