Olympus Pen FT Half frame Analogue camera
Olympus Pen FT – 35mm Half-Frame SLR – Mechanically Working
A beautifully engineered 1960s classic, the Olympus Pen FT is one of the most distinctive and compact 35mm SLR cameras ever made. It was part of the legendary Olympus Pen system — a half-frame design that delivers 72 exposures on a standard 36-exposure roll of 35mm film. The Pen FT improved on the original Pen F by adding a built-in exposure meter and a refined single-stroke film advance, making it one of the most advanced half-frame SLRs of its time.
Condition:
Mechanical condition: Fully functional. Shutter, film advance, and mirror mechanism all tested and working correctly.
Shutter: Fires accurately across all speed settings (B–1/500 s).
Film advance: Smooth single-stroke operation
Cosmetics: Overall clean, showing light wear consistent with age. No dents or major scratches.
Included: Camera body only (no lens included)
Original body cap
Uses the Olympus Pen F lens mount (compatible with Pen F, FT, and FV system lenses). Takes standard 35mm film in half-frame (18×24 mm) format — double the shots per roll! A great choice for collectors, analog enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a compact and beautifully designed mechanical SLR.
As with all vintage cameras, a professional service is recommended for long-term reliability. This camera has not been film tested - picture quality is not guaranteed.
