Olympus Pen F camera , made in Japan, 1963-1966.

Fitted with C1964Back-bodied single lens reflex camera for half frame 18mmx24mm 35mm film. F.Zuiko Auto-S lens F:38mm f/1.8 No 334348; bayonet interchangeable mount. Focal plane shutter 1-1/500 sec. Delayed action. Through-lens metering; needle visible in finder. In ERC with lens cap.

The Olympus Pen F was the first half-frame system SLR camera, and was also the first to have a rotary titanium shutter. Total sales of the Pen series were over 17 million. Half frame meant that the camera used a 18 x 24mm portrait format, and produced double the amount of pictures as 36 x 24mm format. These features combined to make the Pen series cameras compact and light.
