So tell me, Godfrey. Were you a Pen FT fan as well back in the day?
Or were you too young then?
Loved it. Carried the whole kit with me for a couple of years. Tri-
x, for those grainy fashion shots that were so popular in the 60s.
I owned a Pen F in 1970-75, and bought another in '93 which I used for
two and a half years. Superb cameras and lenses, delightfully compact
and having 72 exposures per film load made a huge difference when
traveling. I still have a brace of Pen EE cameras and, my favorite in
the genre, a Bell & Howell/Canon Dial 35 II (which has a superb five
or six element lens, and spring-wound auto film advance).
The biggest problem with the Pen F was simply that 35mm films over ASA
100 were too grainy for 11x14s.
