In this issue, we would like to introduce the light receiving surface of the exposure meter of an OLYMPUS half-size film camera released in 1973.
OLYMPUS-PEN EE-3 (Reference product)
The light-receiving surface of the exposure meter is located on the outer frame of the lens.

Numerous round, transparent, square-like bead-like objects are scattered around the lens.

Light from this light-receiving surface is automatically adjusted by the camera’s built-in exposure meter.

In this issue, we introduced the light receiving surface of the exposure meter of the OLYMPUS half-size film camera released in 1973.
Unlike the light-receiving window of the PEN-D introduced in the previous issue, this light-receiving surface is a wonderful idea, mounted around the lens in a very rational way.
After all, the design of the light-receiving surface, which is very distinctive, has stuck in my mind’s eye (laugh).
