    This camera was released in 1981 and is a fully automatic model: auto-focus, auto film winding, auto film loading, auto exposure. It also has a flash. Really easy for beginners, but still takes great photos. Take a look at the gallery for some example photos we took with an Auto 7 ! The range of shutter speeds is good, so you can take photos in fairly poor light, and it just uses 2x AA batteries for power. Camera ConditionNo dents or major marks, and a few scuffs from usage. Overall in good condition, and in perfect working order. Note that some of our stock is the Auto 7 Date version, which has the ability to print the date on each photo.

    The Olympus Pen range of film cameras are half-frame cameras that use standard 35mm film (available everywhere), but take 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 Pen EE-2 is one of the simplest to use - it is fully automatic. Just point and shoot. It has a light meter around the lens which calculates the correct aperture / shutter speed and sets them automatically. The exposure system is very similar to the Olympus Trip 35, and it also pops up a red flag warning in the viewfinder if it is too dark to take a photo.  It takes film speeds up to ISO 400. Condition: In full working order including shutter, light meter and red flag operation Body and lens in good condition - no major marks and some minor scuffs on the body. Lens is clear and bright
