Olympus Pen EE3

Have you ever wonder how did the PEN series get their name?

The original Pen was introduced in 1959. It was designed by Yoshihisa Maitani, and was the first half-frame camera produced in Japan. It was one of the smallest cameras to use 35mm film in regular 135 cassettes. It was thought to be as portable as a pen; thus the name.

While the EE series are half frame cameras which can be easily recognized by the selenium meter window around the lens.

Olympus has done quite a good job at their page for their film cameras, if you are interested you can have alook here OLYMPUS MUSEUM. The only problem is you can't touch the real camera hehe.

Ok, finish with olympus history 101, Olympus Pen EE-3 is in the house!
Lens :28mm f3.5
Shutter Speed :1/60
Exposure: Automatic by Selenium Meter(iso 25-400)

First of all, its a half frame camera, which as per name uses half frame thus a 36 exposure film will be able to come out with 72pictures! It is a also a simple point and shoot camera, just set the ISO for your film and advance your film and you are ready to snap.

It's a good camera to start with for a beginner and yet a camera worth collecting: full metal body, small, sexy selenium meter. Oh ya, it does not requires any batteries, mechanical shutter, metering provided via solar.

This camera has been undergone service, lense cleaned, camera mechanical parts has been lubricated, light seals has been replaced, original broken plastic shutter button replaced to a metal button. One thing is the metal button cant be fitter with shutter release cable.

Price: Rm200(exclude postage)
