My new...

tool toy. The camera is in great shape. Even though the lens has seen better days the optics look good and should serve until I find a deal on a better one. I'm looking forward to trying it out. It's hard to beat a Pen for street photography.

Very nice camera, and a very nice shot OF a camera.

 

[Pete Askew]

Indeed, on both counts.

 

[John Allen]

Thanks, Rob and Pete.

Very nice, I've always wanted one, Unfortunately I can't justify it as I very rarely use 35mm these days.

The amount of use I get out of it will probably not justify the cost, but that's not really why I bought it. Like you, I've always wanted one and now that I have an OM-1 and an XA2 I lacked a Pen F. The Pen F is really best suited to street photography and that's something I no longer do. The OM-1 and the RB67 are more suited to other types of photography, although the OM-1 makes a fine street photo camera too. This camera isn't the most expensive one I own. Nor is it the most impressive to a non-photographer, the RB67 takes those honors. Despite that, it will probably be the pride of my collection once I put an original lens cap on it to hide that mangled lens or put a new lens on it.
