Digital 1:1 macro with a framer

[cav]

Is it possible to set up a digital camera like the Olympus C5060 in an Ikelite housing to shoot 1:1 macro with a framer? I'm thinking of the kind of arrangement that is used with the Nikonos V - extension tube, framer, and strobe which made macros essentially a point and shoot operation. Any suggestions?

You can certainly build the framer, but the question is manual focus. If you need manual focus, you may have a hard time getting it set right. If you use autofocus, I don't know what the point of the framer is. What are you trying to photograph with it?
