AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

**[ Description ]**

Thank you for your viewing.

The Olympus PEN EE-3 is one of the most charming half-frame cameras of the 1970s, designed by the legendary Yoshihisa Maitani to double your exposures — 72 shots from a single roll of 36-exposure film. Its exposure is fully automatic, powered entirely by a selenium light meter, so no battery is ever needed to shoot. Paired with the sharp D.Zuiko 28mm f/3.5 lens, it remains a favourite among street photographers across Europe for its compact size and simplicity.
