AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Olympus PEN EE-2 half-frame camera with D.Zuiko 28mm f/3.5 lens. Selenium auto-exposure and the red under-exposure warning flag both working, lens clear; cosmetically worn but fully functional.

Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.

The Olympus PEN EE-2 is a half-frame (18x24mm) point-and-shoot introduced in 1968 as part of the Maitani-designed PEN series, and remained in production until 1977. It pairs a sharp fixed D.Zuiko 28mm f/3.5 lens with a battery-free selenium-cell automatic exposure system and a simple two-speed program shutter, adding a hot shoe over the earlier PEN EE. A red warning flag rises in the viewfinder and locks the shutter in low light, guarding against underexposed frames. Its compact size, twice-the-frames-per-roll economy and reliable meterless operation make it a durable favourite among film shooters and collectors today.
