Can only agree
As Dave says, the most popular and still ready available Half Frame Camera is indeed the Olympus Pen. I have shot a few films as half frame trying to ensure that i have compatible adjacent subjects on each frame ---so I could print them as a "PAIR". Good fun

Yes, I acquired a Pen a little while ago - the EE-S model. Can be found for around the £30 mark. The FT is the rarer model and I think has interchangeable lens but prices can be very high.
I've had good fun with mine doing candids around car boot sales recently I kinda get impatient though, waiting to shoot 70+ pictures before I can develop ! Plus I find the small negs difficult to asses with my eyesight. I've switched to an Olympus trip for doing snapshooting. These cameras are more plentiful on the secondhand market and much cheaper too. I do love the retro styling of these cameras and they look good on the shelf when not in use !

I've just put an old Pen-D up for sale on our local TradeMe. It's in good condition apart from a wobbly lens mount. I'm curious to see what response I get.

I missed out on Stan's Pen D which is exactly the camera that would suit me
If anyone knows of another, Please advise with PM thanks. Bob |

I finally got a buyer, but in the end the sale fell through because of a lack of communication. So I'm trying once again.
