  1. Thanks Greg. I won't bother opening her up and trying to fix it. I have it on ebay. 7 days, bidding at 99 cents. If I get a few bucks I should be lucky. I have lost $ on the deal but that's business Olympus Pen EE-S 1965 half-frame 35mm film camera - FAULTY SHUTTER, STUCK OPEN | eBay - Matt
  2. I finally ran a roll of film through my PEN. Well, about 10 shots until it jammed, the film winder not advancing and the shutter button pressing all the way to the bottom. I tried covering the lens, shooting into bright light, nothing. I think the shutter is stuck. See attached photo of the inside. Is it supposed to look like this, with the curtains open? I won't try to move them for fear they bend and I ruin them. It might be wise to sell it where I bought it, on ebay. Thoughts welcome. - Matt
  3. Thanks zweeko, that makes sense to me too :-)
  4. Followup. Other site suggested having a look under the pressure plate, which I did. The printed red 2 digit number 54 Apparently the 5 = the assembly plant And the 4 is the last name of the year = 1964?
  5. Hi, I have bought an Olympus Pen EE-S film (I assume mid-1960s) camera and would like to know the manufacturer code to let me know when the camera was made. Other forums say remove the pressure plate (done) and the 2 digit code will there. They don't say where exactly. Does anyone know and can you send a photo indicating where the code is? Thanks Matt
