Ah, the Pen FT, brings back such great memories. My only camera from '72 through '85. Such fond memories.
Thank you!
The second link doesn't work for me...

I'm inspired to celebrate: some slides I've either scanned or photographed free-hand, taken with the Pen FT in '72-'74. Now that I've got my bellows / slide copier figured out, I'll probably re-shoot these sometime soon.
Interesting pages from the manual:

I'm wondering if this means that they'll market that micro-4/3 cam as a PEN. But it wouldn't be a PEN if it's not half-frame.
WAIT.
micro-4/3 = 0.5 x Full Frame.
HOLY COW

Oh thank you!
That's the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem.
The thing with 1/2 frame, first, 72 frames is a really long way to go for a roll... and all film defects become all the more critical.
Unfortunately I lost all my negatives. I still have the 35mm enlarger lens though.

Thanks. It took some time for me to discover the Pen F's. And I just have these two cameras (FT and FV) plus a handful lenses. With a newly added 38/2.8 (the initial prime lens which was quickly cancelled) now I need the F camera to complete the series.
It's a great camera for kid portraits. I love shooting with the upright 2/3 format, plus the close focus of 0,35m. It's very much like a Barnack Leica except it has a much better finder...

Hello,
I am going to join the PEN-lovers club. I got a FT a couple of weeks ago with the 38mm and 70mm lens and got this week my first slide film back from developing. I must say that I love this little camera.
It`s very good for shooting small series since you have double the frames.
I got some half format slide mounts and will see how these perform.

The Pen FT lenses squeezes the grain out of the film and challange the best scanners.
