What it is

{"overview":"The Olympus PEN F is a half-frame 35mm SLR introduced in 1963, designed by Yoshihisa Maitani as part of the PEN system. The PEN F was also produced in specialist Endoscope and Microscope variants for medical and scientific use, which turn up occasionally and should not be confused with the standard photographic body.

Questions

Why are some PEN F bodies priced so differently?

Condition, shutter accuracy and viewfinder clarity drive most of the value spread; specialist Endoscope and Microscope variants also exist and trade on a different basis to the standard photographic model.
