Olympus PEN D3 film camera
Olympus PEN D3 film camera
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.
Take a look at the gallery for some example photos from a Pen D3.
The Pen D / D2 and D3 are one of the finest half-frame cameras we have come across. The D3 has a lovely wide (f1.7) lens so good for low light, and full manual control of aperture and shutter speed. Serious capability all in a tiny camera body.
The D3 has a built-in electronic meter operated by a button on the rear. This gives a meter readout number on the top of the camera. Simply turn the shutter and aperture rings until the same number is indicated on the lens and shoot away.
Focusing is via a nice smooth lever at the base of the lens.
Shutter speeds are from 1/8 - 1/500 + B. Aperture range is f1.7 - f16.
Camera includes adaptor so that it can run on regular SR44 button cells.
