Olympus Pen-FT film tested

I bought multiple of the cameras from Japan to find one that the meter is not only working but also accurate enough (not reading in a way that underexposes the picture or in a way that is inconsistent). I did send back 2 immediately as the meter was way of and kept this one to test it further.

The camera was film tested and the meter is working. The battery adapter and battery are available on request but not included in this offer. The images turned out slightly a bit bright which might indicate that the meter is working but needs to be calibrated with the potentiometer inside the camera. The standard 38mm lens is also available on request but not part of this offer. There is some dust in the finder (most dust you see in the image is simply on top and can be cleaned of with a cotton swap.

What I found with all of the cameras is that to reset the film counter you need to advance the film lever and press the shutter like 2-3 times to reset it. When it is reset it then is as accurate as you expect.

So in short the camera is tested, captures pictures as expected with a slight offset in the meter.

The camera comes with a free 3d printed body cap as a little thank you!

As I'm selling privately I can no give any guarantees and there for suggest you to have a look at the camera before buying it.
