Half Frame Film Format Gear Acquisition ...
A Gift from the Albany Carousel
Albany, Oregon
The same week I was getting the Bronica EC medium format film outfit ready to share with grandson John, we were gifted this Olympus Pen half frame 35mm film outfit. The Pen-FT body with 20mm, 38mm, and 100mm makes for an outstanding outfit with an excellent choice of lenses.
One day last week grandson John and I were at the Albany Carousel taking photos and taking a few rides, John kept winning free rides, we took a break at one of the many small tables beneath the large windows that circle the carousel. One of docents named Ray talked to us several times about the carousel and cameras and teaching photography to youngsters like John. Ray and I had similar years in the military, and like me, bought cameras like this Pen from the PX in the very early '70s. He came back to the table and asked if we would like to have his Pen-F camera outfit so John could experience shooting half frame film.
Of course I said yes.
