AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Olympus PEN EE-3 half-frame camera with D.Zuiko 28mm f/3.5 lens. Meter works; there is a dent by the viewfinder that distorts the finder frame (see below).
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
The Olympus PEN EE-3, part of designer Yoshihisa Maitani's groundbreaking PEN half-frame family, captures two images on each 35mm frame — yielding 72 shots from a single 36-exposure roll. Its selenium-cell automatic exposure needs no battery, making it a simple, pocketable, and endlessly charming film camera that helped define the half-frame format.
