A real collectors item this one, a late 60s/early 70's example of and Olympus PEN Medical, recognized for it's included Microscope adapter and circular viewfinder image. This is a rare find in any condition, but ...this one is completely flawless, indeed, it must be one of the best examples in existence!The PEN system was conceived in the late 1960s as a user friendly, compact SLR. Using a half frame design, it pushed available technology to deliver compact, interchangeable lens cameras, which can deliver 72 images on a 36 frame roll. Sadly, the world was not ready for such innovation at the time and the PEN system all but died out after a few short years, although it's fundamental strengths are now at the vanguard once more in the Mirrorless Digital Bodies so popular today, a revolution began by Olympus, who Badge their Micro Four Thirds range with the PEN name.One area where the PEN system found a niche was in medical and microphotography, hence the creation of a special model for this use, paired with the SF33E Microscope adapter.This example is, as I have said, in astounding condition, there is nothing else to say, All controls are working, and I am told that the camera has had a recent service, clean and new seals. The original SF33E Microscope adapter is included and is in identically perfect condition, with clean mount and flash contacts, it even retains its original cap!The camera will be supplied as seen, ready to take pride of place in your collection or for you to get to work!
