Olympus Pen-FT half-frame SLR camera
Olympus Pen-FT half-frame SLR camera
The Pen-F range is a unique set of 3 half-frame SLR cameras produced by Olympus between 1963 and 1970.
This example is the Pen FT, on sale from 1966-72. All models have interchangeable lenses with a huge range of lenses that were originally available.
It is the only model of the range that has a built-in light meter. It is a very simple system - when you point the camera at your subject the viewfinder has a needle that indicates a light value from 0 to 7. Simply set that value on the lens and the exposure is correct. If the needle is out of range, then select a different shutter speed (either faster or slower).
The lens also has regular aperture markings.
This example comes with a 38mm f/1.8 original lens and the original 'Olympus Pen' lens cap.
