Hi everyone,

What follows is probably going to sound more than a bit flowery and nostalgic but it’s true to my feelings. When Olympus released the PEN-F camera all I could do was look longingly and admiringly at pictures of it and marvel at its beautiful retro rangefinder looks. That’s all I could do as I certainly couldn’t afford to buy one. Years later I found one going second hand in mint condition at a price I absolutely couldn’t resist and so I took the plunge. It was a very long time since I was that excited to see any piece of photographic gear arrive on my doorstep.

This camera, more than any other camera I’ve owned in years, has served to reignite and fuel my passion for photography. One only has to look at it and hold it in one’s hand to get a buzz of excitement. Every time I use it I’m transported on a journey back and I’m seventeen again using my first Olympus 35mm film camera. Of course this is my very personal experience, not only does the camera look a thing of beauty it has everything and more that I require in a camera. If it wasn’t such a joy to use I’d put it in a display case where I could sit and look at it’s beautiful looks but that’s not what I bought it for. 🙂

This camera is just made for anyone who shares my passion for classic styling with the obvious benefits of modern technology. I don’t know if we’ll ever see its likes again, this camera has achieved cult status in a relatively short period of time. No camera is perfect but it suits my needs and comes as close as I’ve ever experienced to the simplistic joy of taking photographs. There’s something indescribable about the feeling one gets when using it.

Kind regards

Leigh
