Very sharp, nice contrasts, great photos. I like that it has the zone focus. I almost bought an EE-2, but luckily I noticed it does not have manual focus and I can see more EE-series’ photos are not so sharp.
A very nice review man ! I own an Olympus Trip but intend to search for one of their half frame cameras. Your photo compositions are quite well taken. Keep on doing this. Belgian greetings.
Very happy to see that you auto-exposure system is working well. I bought an EES-2 for a small amount over ebay, and it proved to be in mint condition, except that it suffers from the curse afflicting the EES line of cameras: the aperture setting mechanism has jammed and needs to be cleaned to work properly. Luckily, this is such a common problem that there is an excellent YT video showing how to open the lens/shutter to clean the auto-metering mechanism. I'm saving it for a rainy winter day. This is the last model using a selenium meter cell which does not require a battery. The next model, EES-3 is the same except that it uses a Cds battery powered meter (discontinued mercury battery). It also is a bit rare and gets a premium price.
Wow, what a lovely camera and the images are fantastic! It's very similar to the Olympus Trip 35, same two choices of shutter speeds, zone focussing, selenium light metre. I love my Trip 35s :). Beautiful.
Olympus Pen cameras, the first Cropped Factor for film. - Just got my Pen EE2 as mine is a 28mm fix focus, and LOVE It, along with my Konica Reporter AF half frame camera.... Good Video Thank You
This is a dope video, your shots came out Great. I just picked one up at a thrift shop and can’t wait to try it out. I’m so happy i got a chance to grab one of these gems.
Hey thanks for this video, I just picked up the same camera. Fingers crossed it works, came from a guy who had the lens cap on and in a bag for 10 years so hopefully the light meter works. Appreciate the review mate
this little camera looks and sounds amazing! I'm just curious but what is the filter size for it? it could be fun to shoot with a red filter i guess :) thanks!!!
Hey !! Thanks for that super helpful video ! Just had a question about the flash and how to use it… did you ever used a flash on it and if yes, how do you do ?? Thanks and keep going !
Yes, I believe there is a filter/cap thread on the lens housing. I'm unsure of the size, and unfortunately mine is packed away because I'm moving to a new house next week. Once I take it out I'll have a look and see if I can figure out the filter size. Cheers!
Great video! I have the older Olympus Pen ee, still enjoy using it, currently loaded up with kodak gold 200.
Very sharp, nice contrasts, great photos. I like that it has the zone focus. I almost bought an EE-2, but luckily I noticed it does not have manual focus and I can see more EE-series’ photos are not so sharp.
The best in depth review of this camera model.
Great video. I love mine as well.
Nice to see some half frame love. Really dig the image at 7:18 - Analog on analog!
Thank you! Definitely one of my favorites too!

Me too I love my Trip 35. And would love to have a Pen with zone focusing.
Hi ! I don't now if you now it now but on the olympus pen EE the aperture ring works ONLY if you use an external flash ; )

Does it make sharp images? Also in low light? I almost bought one, but I dislike the idea of fixed focus.
Shots came out perfect dread. You maximized the roll
Thanks! I sure tried to haha

Thanks and keep going !
very cool video. Thank you for the tipps. I bought my PEN for 5€ out of a garage.
Best review
If the lightmeter doesn't work on the auto, using it manually will work right?
also do you have recommended film for this camera??
what if i sometimes forgot to set the asa or the film speed ? is it going to affect the photo results?
Does the ees-2 has filter or cap? If it has, what is it size? 43mm or 44mm ? I very like your video
Yes, I believe there is a filter/cap thread on the lens housing. I'm unsure of the size, and unfortunately mine is packed away because I'm moving to a new house next week. Once I take it out I'll have a look and see if I can figure out the filter size. Cheers!
Is ee3 better or ees2?
What’s that background music?
Blablabla blabla... Nice photos!!
Haha thank you!
