Olympus Pen EE-21968

History

Released 1968. Production ran 5 years until 1973 when the Pen EE-3 took over (with refined cosmetics). Mechanically the EE / EE-2 / EE-3 are largely identical; the differences are cosmetic and the flash interface.

Why It Matters

For 2026 buyers, the Pen EE-2 occupies a middle ground in pricing between the original EE (sometimes pricier as collector) and the EE-3 (more common). Selenium meters on most surviving bodies still work, the lens is sharp, and the half-frame format gives 72 frames per roll.

Lenses & Accessories

Lens fixed. Hot shoe (added on EE-2).

Sample Photographers / Notable Use

• High-volume amateur half-frame.
