Description from the seller
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
**【 About OLYMPUS PEN EE-3 】**
The Olympus PEN EE-3 is a highly popular classic half-frame 35mm film camera, famous for its retro charm and incredible ease of use. As a half-frame camera, it allows you to take 72 photos on a standard 36-exposure roll!
- **No Batteries Required:** It features a built-in selenium light meter around the lens that automatically adjusts the exposure without the need for any batteries.
- **"Red Flag" Underexposure Prevention:** In automatic mode, if there is not enough light for a proper exposure, a red flag pops up in the viewfinder and automatically locks the shutter. This prevents you from wasting film on dark, underexposed shots.
- **Fixed Focus (Point and Shoot):** There is no need to adjust the focus. It uses a fixed-focus (pan-focus) system, meaning everything from about 1.5 meters to infinity is naturally in focus. Just point and shoot!
----------------------------------------
It functions perfectly, has a beautiful appearance, and the exposure system also operates without issue.
The foam in the film chamber (light seals) has been replaced with new material.
Functionality is flawless, and the appearance is beautiful. There is no concern about the deterioration of foam padding, a common issue with vintage film cameras.
