Olympus PEN FT 35mm Half Frame Camera Body, Chrome Review

The Olympus PEN FT is a classic half-frame 35mm film camera from the late 1960s, known for its compact body and efficient use of film. It shoots double the number of exposures per roll compared to standard full-frame cameras, making it an economical choice for film shooters. This chrome body variant accepts the Olympus PEN F mount lenses and features a TTL meter, a rarity in half-frame cameras of its era.

This particular listing is for a used body in bargain condition and is marked as inoperative, meaning it's sold as-is without functional guarantees. At this price point, it's primarily suited for collectors, display purposes, or those with the skills and interest to repair vintage cameras. For shooters looking for a working half-frame camera, a functional PEN FT or PEN F would be a better investment.
