Olympus PEN EE Analogue camera

OLYMPUS PEN EE, tested and working.

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

The Olympus Pen EE is a fully automatic half-frame viewfinder camera introduced in 1961, part of the Pen line conceived by Yoshihisa Maitani. As a half-frame design it captures 72 shots from a single 36-exposure roll, doubling the frame count of standard 35mm. It pairs a fixed-focus D.Zuiko 28mm f/3.5 Tessar-type lens with a selenium-cell automatic exposure system, requiring no batteries. Pocketable, simple and reliable, the Pen EE remains one of the most beloved half-frame cameras for casual and street photography.

Important — please read carefully:
Automatic exposure runs about 1.5-2.5 stops over (overexposure). Please review the description before bidding.

Measured Performance
We check these cameras on a shutter tester rather than by ear, and we publish what we measured:
- Light meter accuracy — EV12: 1.4 OVER / EV15: 2.6 OVER
Some of these deviations exceed what negative film can absorb — please read the Known Issues section and allow for them when shooting.

Servicing
This camera was serviced by us before listing:
- Light seals (foam) replaced
- Viewfinder cleaned internally

Known Issues
1. Automatic exposure runs over (EV12 +1.4 / EV15 +2.6), so pictures in bright conditions will come out overexposed.

Bundled Items
Only what you can see in the pictures will be included in the package.
