Description from the seller
OLYMPUS PEN EE-3 – serviced.
• Serviced before listing: viewfinder cleaned internally, lens cleaned internally, light seals (foam) replaced.
• Condition: Excellent – no known issues.
About this camera
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.
Measured Performance
- Light meter accuracy — EV12: 0.9 OVER / EV15: 1.0 OVER
The camera operates properly: shutter fires at all speeds and the light meter responds.
