Released 1964 alongside the meter-equipped Pen D2. The Pen W lasted only a single production run — about 25,000 units before discontinuation in 1965. The wide-angle lens design didn't sell as expected, partly because most amateur half-frame photographers preferred the 32mm or 28mm normal lenses on other Pen models.
The Pen W is a collector camera in 2026. The 25/2.8 wide-angle Zuiko is one of the few wide-angle lenses ever fitted to a half-frame compact — combined with the half-frame format crop, it gives an effective 37mm full-frame field of view. Used prices reflect rarity: a clean Pen W runs $400–1,000 in 2026.
Lens fixed. Standard hot/cold-shoe flashes via leaf shutter all-speed sync.
