Description from the seller
Olympus PEN EE-3 — Designed by Yoshihisa Maitani
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
The Olympus PEN EE-3 is a half-frame 35mm compact camera designed by Yoshihisa Maitani. As a half-frame camera, it captures two photos on each standard 35mm frame — giving you up to 72 shots from a single 36-exposure roll. Equipped with a D.Zuiko 28mm f/3.5 lens and a battery-free selenium-powered auto exposure system, it offers effortless point-and-shoot photography. The EE-3, introduced in 1973, added the "Flashmatic" system for automatic flash exposure when used with a compatible flash unit.
Light seals have been replaced.
