Olympus Pen EE3 half-frame camera·올림푸스 펜 EE3하프프레임 카메라

부모님이 신혼여행때 부터 가지고 계셨던 올림푸스 펜 EE-3 하프사이즈(half-size) 카메라입니다. 가까이 있으면 소중함을 모른다고. 한참 사진을 찍기 시작한 이후로도 소위 장롱 카메라에는 관심이 가지 않았습니다. 이놈을 처음꺼내 필름을 넣고 사진을 찍기 시작했을때, 카운팅이 72cut 까지 올라가는 이놈을 보고 고장났다는 결론을 지었지만, 밀착결과물을 보니 일반 카메라의 1cut에 해당하는 필름에 두컷씩 하프사이즈(half size)의 상이 맺혀있었습니다. 밀착원본을 보시면 이해가 빠릅니다 :) (포스팅은 pen EE-3에 대한 내용이지만, 상기 사진은 Pen EES의 사진입니다. )

보시는것과 같이 36cut 필름에 72cut의 상이 촬영되어있습니다. 아버지도 펜으로 많이 찍고 인화하셨었겠지만 밀착을 하지 않고 바로 3x5 size 프린트를 해오셨기때문에, 많이 찍힌다는 것은 알고 계셨지만 하프사이즈(half size)에 대한 개념은 모르셨던 것 같습니다. 따라서 pen으로 찍을때는 미리 예상하여 두컷에 어느정도 연관성을 부여하여 찍고 프린트하는 재미가 있는데요. 예를 들면 ....

이러한 사진들이 가능합니다.

처음 생각나는 것은, 경제성 ! 카메라를 들어보면 휴대성! 아버지 어릴적에는 동네 사진관에서 수학여행이나 소풍갈때 100원을 주고 하루 대여가 가능했다고 합니다. 2차대전때 그 휴대성과 간편함에 종군기자들이 많이 휴대하였다는 글도 읽은적이 있는데요. 어쨌든 여러가지 면에서 뭐랄까, 왠지모를 소박함과 옛스러움이 묻어나는 카메라입니다.

올림푸스 펜 EE-3(olympus pen ee-3)의 EE는 Electronic Eye를 의미합니다. 즉 노출계인데, 렌즈 둘레에 셀레늄 광소자로 된 노출계가 달려있어 정확한 측광이 가능합니다. 이 셀레늄 소자를 이용해 일종의 트릭을 적용할 수 있는데요. 셀레늄 소자를 손가락으로 조금 가리면 노출오버된 사진을 얻을 수 있습니다. 카메라 노출계를 실제 보다 어둡다고 인식시켜 속이는 셈이지요.

Olympus Pen

(1959)

The first-generation Olympus Pen camera appeared in 1959. The design process began with the concept of creating a camera that could be sold for ¥6,000 yen. The Pen combined the superb photographic performance of the D-Zuiko lens with excellent portability, and it was also used by professional photographers as a secondary camera.

Olympus PenEE

(1961)

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.

Olympus PenEES

(1962)

Launched in 1962, the Olympus Pen EES was the world's first camera with a programmable EE shutter. The shutter speeds were 1/30 and 1/250 sec. The shutter speed changed automatically according to light level, thus increasing the appropriate exposure range. A three-zone focus system was used to adjust the focal point. The Olympus Pen EES heralded the start of the programmable EE camera boom.

Olympus PenD

(1962)

The Olympus Pen D was introduced in 1962 as the top model in the Olympus Pen range. Many professional features were packed into its compact body, including a high-performance F1.9 large-aperture lens, a high-speed 1/500 sec. shutter, and a built-in exposure meter that allowed direct reading of the LV.

Olympus PenEM

(1965)

The Olympus Pen EM went on sale in 1965 with three new features: an electronic shutter, automatic film advance, and automatic rewind.
The electronic shutter allowed an exposure range from 30 sec. down to 1/500 sec. according to the brightness of the subject. Power for the shutter, film advance and rewind systems was provided by two built-in AA batteries. While the Olympus Pen EM had a major influence on the future of electronic technology and automation in cameras, there were manufacturing problems that could not be overcome with the technology then available. Sadly, production ceased after just one year.

Olympus PenF

(1963)

The Olympus Pen F was the world's first and only half-frame system single-lens reflex camera, released in 1963. The camera featured a porro-prism finder and was the first to have a rotary titanium shutter. It could be used with a highly versatile range of 20 exchangeable lenses. The Olympus Pen F was a revolutionary camera packed with innovative features. The rotary shutter, which combined speed with durability, was reportedly perfected only after long and hard effort by Olympus engineers.

Olympus PenFT

(1966)

The Olympus PEN FT went on sale in 1966. Though identical to the Pen F in external appearance, it had a built-in TTL exposure meter.
When the camera was pointed at a subject, the TTL number exposure control system displayed an aperture number in the view-finder according to the shutter speed setting. There were many other enhancements, including a single-action film advance system, and a built-in self-timer.
