Description from the seller
Olympus PEN EE-2 — An Iconic Half-Frame Camera from 1960s Japan
At Snow Optics Japan, we carefully inspect and clean every camera before it reaches you. Based in Hokkaido, Japan, we are passionate about vintage optics and committed to delivering honest, detailed descriptions so you can buy with confidence.
About This Camera
The Olympus PEN EE-2 is one of the most charming half-frame film cameras ever made. Produced from 1968 to 1971, it was designed by the legendary Yoshihisa Maitani — the same visionary behind the Olympus OM series. The EE-2 shoots 72 frames on a standard 36-exposure roll of 35mm film, making it an economical and creative tool for street photography. Its fixed D.Zuiko 28mm F3.5 lens (equivalent to 42mm in full-frame terms) delivers surprisingly sharp images, and the fully automatic selenium exposure system requires no batteries. Decades later, the PEN EE-2 remains a beloved collector's piece and a practical shooter for film photography enthusiasts worldwide.
