The Olympus Pen FT is an extremely fine half frame SLR camera, and one of the masterpiece designs of Olympus genius Yoshihisa Maitani. It's a half-frame camera, meaning that it can shoot double the number of exposures as a standard 35mm film camera (72 shots per 36 exposure roll of film, for example). This also means it's one of the smallest 35mm film SLR cameras ever made.
It is an all-mechanical, all-manual camera with a light meter, however this light meter is not working properly. We are selling this camera at a discount, therefore, and the camera can be used effectively anyway.
The camera will be packaged securely and shipped immediately.
