Specialist Note "The Pen EES-2 is widely considered the most user-friendly of the legendary Pen series. The 'EES' stands for Electronic Eye and Special, referring to its ability to handle exposure automatically. What photographers love most about this camera is its 'vertical-first' orientation; because it’s a half-frame, the viewfinder is naturally in portrait mode,which completely changes how you compose a scene. It is a incredibly tactile, mechanical gem that feels like a precision instrument in your pocket."

Condition Report Good condition. The body (S/N: 3330303) shows normal signs of light use and minor surface character consistent with its age.
