PERSONAL NOTES

The Olympus Pen EE is made of metal, it feels solid. Like some other cameras, the back is completely removed from the camera to load film. The film advance is smooth, the lens is relatively sharp, and the exposure is automatic. As this camera is a half frame, the finder is still rectangular, but it's vertical. It's a nice exercice to compose with a vertical finder. The Olympus Pen EE is a simple camera to use, and it's fun!


CONCLUSION

If you want to try a half frame camera, the Olympus Pen EE is solid and fun.
