Olympus PEN EED Half-frame Camera

Take a look at the gallery to see examples of photos we took with a PEN EED.

The Pen EED was produced from 1967 to 1972 and is an example of a half-frame camera so it uses standard 35mm film (available everywhere), but it takes each photo on only half of the negative. This means that you get double the photos from each film – a huge 72 photos from a regular 36 exposure film.

If you get your films developed and just scanned, then most labs will not charge you any extra which makes this camera an awesome choice for keen photographers.

The EED has wide (f1.7) lens so good for low light, and a nice wide range of shutter speeds (from 1/15 to 1/500). Like the Olympus Trip 35 it also has a little red flag that pops up in the viewfinder if the light level is too low to take a photo.  It has fully automatic exposure, so you only need to focus (using the distance markings on the lens) and shoot. Very compact due to the half-frame design, and more capable than the Trip 35 (better lens, wider range of shutter speeds).

Camera includes adaptor so that it can run on regular button cells.
