Olympus Pen FV

The Olympus Pen FV is a half-frame 35mm single-lens reflex camera, part of the Pen F series introduced by Olympus in the 1960s. It used the Pen F bayonet mount and was aimed at photographers wanting a compact SLR system that doubled the exposures available on a standard 35mm roll.

Sales data for the Pen FV is thin, so price guidance is indicative rather than firm. A black-finish example sold at UK auction for £450 (hammer), and as of today that single data point is the only reference we have for what a Pen FV sells for at saleroom level — clean, working bodies in black trim sit toward the upper end of Pen F-series values.
