Olympus Pen EE-2
The Olympus Pen EE-2 is a half-frame 35mm viewfinder camera from the Pen EE series, fitting two exposures onto a single standard frame of 35mm film. It was offered as a compact, fixed-lens snapshot camera with a selenium-cell automatic exposure system aimed at casual users.
Sales evidence in 2026 is thin: only one UK auction hammer result is on record, at £35 in April 2023, so today's saleroom value is best treated as a single data point rather than a settled range. At this wholesale level — hammer prices exclude commission and sit below typical dealer asking prices — the Pen EE-2 sells for modest sums, and clean, working examples with a responsive meter tend to be worth more than cosmetically tired bodies.
