I just spent four hours today wandering the city streets with a Pen EE and 35SP,
shot a roll through each and found it very therapeutic.
There were a couple of times I found myself hankering for a 65-200 mm but
overall it was refreshing to get back to basics. (Then on the way home I
bought an IS1000 and G40, go figure :-) )
I'm interested to see how the fixed focus Pen EE holds up against it's bigger
brother since I only got it at a swap meet on Sunday.
Does anyone still use these early Pen EE series?
And the Trip 35 (metal body, my first Olympus, still got it) is actually a very
good camera.
