AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
OLYMPUS PEN D2 – serviced, shutter speeds measured on a tester.
• Shutter speeds measured on a shutter tester – results below.
• Serviced before listing: viewfinder cleaned internally, light seals (foam) replaced.
• Condition: Good – 2 issues, fully disclosed under Known Issues.
About this camera
The Olympus Pen D2 (1964) is a premium model in Olympus's famous half-frame Pen series, designed by Yoshihisa Maitani. It pairs the fast, high-quality F.Zuiko 32mm f/1.9 lens with a built-in CdS exposure meter, offering excellent image quality in a genuinely pocketable all-mechanical body. The half-frame format doubles the number of exposures on a roll of 35mm film.
Measured Performance
- 1 s — measured 1/4 s (approx. 2.0 stop fast)
- 1/60 — measured 1/34 s (approx. 0.8 stop slow)
- 1/1000 — measured 1/182 s (approx. 2.5 stop slow)
- Light meter accuracy — EV12: 2.8 OVER / EV15: 3.3 OVER
Some of these deviations exceed what negative film can absorb – see Known Issues.
The shutter fires and the light meter responds.
Servicing
- Viewfinder cleaned internally
- Light seals (foam) replaced
Condition
