Un buen día, a finales de los 60's... mi padre un día trajo ésta cámara a casa: Una Olympus Pen, de la que éste año 2009 celebramos el 50 aniversario, desde su primer lanzamiento (revolucionario). De éste modo, tuve la oportunidad de hacer prácticas: en el colegio, y en mis mini-viajes de la época. Os dejo ésta bella instantánea y su descripción técnica (en inglés). Estoy convencido, que más de uno, la recordaréis perfectamente :) Aquí van también, unos cortos animados.
Half-frame Camera Boom
By using the half-frame format, Olympus was able to reduce both the weight and size of the Olympus Pen. It featured a simple rear-winding mechanism, a D-Zuiko lens for superior photographic quality, and an attractive design that also made the camera extremely easy to use. The Pen was a compact mix of innovative ideas that triggered the half-frame camera boom of the 1960s and 1970s. Cumulative sales of Pen Series cameras exceeded 17 million units. The highly original concepts embodied in the Pen Series would eventually lead to the creation of the legendary Pen F Series half-frame single-lens system.
With the Olympus Pen EE, the emphasis was on efficiency. Features included fixed focus, a shutter speed of 1/60 sec., and automatic exposure adjustment. Anyone could take beautiful photographs simply by pushing the button. The camera was priced at ¥10,000 yen. Olympus eventually introduced eight models in the Olympus Pen EE series, which became a driving force for the popularity of the Pen cameras.
