Olympus Pen EE 35mm Half-Frame Compact

Olympus Pen EE 35mm Half-Frame Compact - Good Condition | Classic Japanese Half-Frame Camera with D.Zuiko 28mm f/3.5 Lens and Complete Original Accessories

The Olympus Pen EE is one of the most iconic and beloved half-frame compact cameras ever produced — a timeless classic from Olympus's celebrated Pen series that combines a sharp D.Zuiko 28mm f/3.5 fixed lens with fully automatic selenium-powered exposure in an extraordinarily compact and pocketable body. The half-frame format shoots 18x24mm images on standard 35mm film — effectively doubling the number of exposures per roll to 72 shots on a standard 36-exposure film. The selenium-powered automatic exposure system requires no battery — delivering reliable and consistent results in a wide range of lighting conditions without ever needing a battery. This particularly exceptional example comes complete with its original Olympus Pen lens cap, original Olympus Pen camera bag, original Olympus Pen instructions, original Olympus Pen box, and camera wrist strap — making it one of the most complete Olympus Pen EE examples available. Serial number SR 513885.
