Olympus Pen-D

This is another nice half-frame camera — the Olympus PEN-D. It has an uncoupled meter and a smart way of setting aperture and shutter speed together. Works great and produces nice photos. Compared to the Canon Demi EE28 , it’s a bit bulkier, mostly due to the faster Zuiko 1.9 lens.

It features a Copal leaf shutter, fully mechanical, so no batteries are needed. Focusing is manual via a distance scale. Zone focusing works well once you get a feel for it.

Shutter speeds range from 8s to 1/500s.
