Half Frame Camera Love
« on: February 22, 2011, 05:33:56 PM »
So, a while back I was obsessed with getting a Half Frame Camera.

I searched the bay, our swap meets, and craigslist. One day I found a Pen EES and bought it right away. $40. Not the dream machine, but it would do.....

Then, the next day I found Olympus Pen FT for sale in a town 5 hours away. Luckily only 45 min way from my dad. $45!!!! I got him to go pick it up and buy it untested.

I was lucky, it works great.

This is really cool Chris and it seems the camera works well...

I love the set of images and I guess you've scored a wonderful camera, the images tells everything !

What's always fun with those is the strange juxtapositions it can do inside a single frame.

Damn! I have an Auto Half (an E2 model) but I have been so busy that I haven't been able to take pictures with it yet. And now that I thought that I was at peace with myself I need one exactly like the one in that picture.
