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).

In this example, the meter response is very low, so an external meter should be used.

 The lens also has regular aperture markings.

This example comes with a 38mm f/1.8 original lens and the original lens cap.
