Olympus Auto Eye + D.Zuiko 4.5cm f/2.8 — Classic 1960 Japanese Compact 35mm Camera with Selenium Auto-Exposure, No Battery Required This is an Olympus Auto Eye, released in 1960 as Japan's first 35mm camera with built-in selenium-powered programmed auto-exposure. Featuring the bright D.Zuiko 4.5cm f/2.8 lens — a 4-element Tessar-type design — the Auto Eye combines a coupled program AE shutter, zone-focusing system, and an unmistakable hexagonal-honeycomb selenium photocell window on the front. Fully mechanical and battery-free, it remains one of the most charming and reliable Japanese compacts of the early 1960s.
