Old camera

[BBTM]

Just found a Olympus EE-2 at my mum house. Receipt shows that it was brought in 1974 but a search in the internet, indicate that it is a 1968 product. I think it is still usable but I just keep it lor.

Selling super cheap at ebay too. Less than S$5

It is a half frame camera.
Think I got one too.
Somewhere in my dry cabinet.
cheap does not mean it is no good.
expensive does not mean it is good.

but if you discover you also got Oly OM3 -- pm me immediately!

half frame? does that means that the film no longer available?

Film is the 35mm format.
Instead of 36 shots you get 72 shots.
This format popular in 1960s.
Oly very famous for the Olympus Pan F ½ frame slr.
You can see design legacy of the Pan F now in the E300.
The Pan F did not have a pentaprism bulge on top middle of body.
It used a (porroprism?)

hmm..i got an Oly EE-2 in my dry cabinet too

still working....even under extreme environment...i brought it with me to climb mt kinabalu last time

Since I got some spare film, I wonder how I could use it with this camera. I will get 2 pic in a frame instead of 1? No wonder I saw 72 on the top right hand side and after I read the post again, I then notice abt 2 pics per frame. Will try out when got the time. Btw, the sponge inside the film compartment is no longer there, still ok to load film in?
