[QUOTE=Rob Archer;132149]They cost an arm and a leg these days, but the lenses so I have been told are up to the standard of the best of the day, however I remember there was a question mark over the shutter design and could be a bit 'iffy'.

I have been repeatedly warned by my tech never to buy a Pen F series - he says the shutter design was too much for the materials and it gets impossible to fix.
But the Pen D series...as said above, a phenomenal lens. And a simple camera, not too hard to fix. |

I was in Vietnam, as a military policeman, red caps to you. One day I had to investigate a fatal traffic accident between an American serviceman, driver, and a Vietnamese National victim. I realized right away I needed photos. Cameras were not issued, I headed to the local PX, were I bought an Olympus Pen EE, half frame. Back at the accident scene I loaded a role of B&W film. Controls were simple, I did not have time for fancy. I finished the investigation, dropped the film off at the Vietnamese photo shop in town. When I got the film back I was surprised by the quality and sharpness of that little camera. When a senior investigator was reviewing my report he liked the photos. I had that camera for years until it died.
