I think he means a digital Pen F. I have one and it is a great camera for many things. My brother had one of the film cameras and it was rather nice too.

Olympus was just selling them reconditioned plus 20% off. I bought one for $697 including NYS tax. It arrived and appears to be brand new. The sale may be over but take a look.

The original Pen cameras were popular with theme park photographers. Carowinds had a few photographers who caught everyone walking in the gate and photographed those who wanted it. Prints were available at the park exit about two hours later. They used Olympus Pen FT half-frame 35mm cameras.

The Micro 4/3 Pen F is a very stylish body. It resembles an old rangefinder Leica. It has a few issues, but is a decent camera. Used ones are hard to come by, because they are so cute their owners want to keep them, even if they bought something else.

Too much! I just bought a refurb, on sale, from Olympus for $697 and it looks like it is brand new!
Now they are selling the same thing for $800!

If you are looking for nice half frame, take a look at Konica Auto Rex. I got one had it brought up to spec by Gregg Weber. I love it. I shoot slide film and dont cry because of the film price!

Thanks for the heads-up. The sale is still on but the Pen-F is out of stock; it was listed at $800.00, so you got a good deal.

Sign up for email updates. They let you know when there is a special sale on. Also, you never know if they have a particular item in the refurb bin until you check, so it's always wise to stop in every once in a while.

Would usually be out of stock given that it’s discontinued.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As noted earlier, current users don’t often let them go. Maybe there will be a really tempting breakthrough on the m43 scene that might shake loose a few Pen-Fs ... or maybe not. There are just no reasonably similar cameras presently available.
