The Pen D (1962) was Maitani's "deluxe" Pen — the original Pen line was already a half-frame icon, the Pen D added a faster six-element **F. Zuiko 32/1.9** lens (vs the 28/3.5 of cheaper Pens) plus a Copal leaf shutter to 1/500s and an uncoupled selenium meter on the front. Manual exposure (the meter's reading is shown via a needle on top of the body — you transfer aperture/shutter manually). Zone focus with four positions.

Released 1962. Variants:
Production ended 1969. The Pen D line was the "premium half-frame" sibling to the simpler Pen EE / EE-2 / EE-3 series.
The Pen D's f/1.9 lens is unusually fast for any half-frame camera. Combined with the half-frame format's built-in 2× crop factor, the 32/1.9 acts roughly like a 45mm equivalent on full-frame at maximum aperture — a fast normal lens in a pocketable body. For low-light half-frame work (cafes, evening street), nothing else from the era competes.
For 2026 buyers, a Pen D is one of the more sought-after half-frames after the interchangeable Pen F. The selenium-meter version is reliable; the D2/D3 CdS versions need the same mercury-battery workarounds as other 60s CdS bodies.
Lens fixed. Standard hot/cold-shoe flashes work via the leaf shutter's all-speed sync.
