I have always fancied shooting a half-frame camera after seeing a lot of interesting image compositions on various webpages.
I was looking forward to trying to find subjects that could be paired together to make a different image than just single frames.
It was not really all that easy to do as I found out but I did manage to get a few keepers out of 72 frames, I also found out that hand holding the little Pen D at 1/30th second was not very successful in quite a few of the frames.
That said it was a very enjoyable experience with the camera and the zone focus didn’t prove to be a problem either with all the images being in focus except for the camera shake ones.
There does appear to be a slight light leak which showed up in a few frames so I will have to sort that before shooting more film.
I was really impressed with the sharpness of the images considering the small size of the negative, obviously they will be limited to the enlargement size but for up to 7 x 5 (maybe 10 x 7) they are great.
Once we get a brighter day I hope to shoot a roll of colour film just to experiment with trying to pair up colours as well as subjects.
Thanks for looking.

These look great. I love my Pen – there are so many creative things one can do with half frame!
These are really nice. I am not a gear freak, although I own a number of cameras, and didn’t know about this camera. I love making diptychs in the darkroom so this would be right up my alley!
Just remember to shoot right to left when shooting multiple frames to use together so they will run right on the negatives 🙂
