Photo of the Week: Through a Half-Frame Lens

Jake Blog Post 1187 Views

Normally photo of the week only has one photo, but there were too many great photos to choose from on this roll. So this week we decided to post all of our favorites.


This past Christmas I bought Jamie an old film camera. It’s an Olympus PEN 35mm half-frame camera from 1959 (half-frame means it exposes two images per frame of film). Our digital camera is also an Olympus PEN, but it was made just a few years ago. I found the film camera on ebay and the seller wasn’t sure if it even worked or not. We were hopeful though, and loaded in a roll of film and shot away while we were in Colorado during Christmas vacation. We sent the film in to snapfish to get developed and a few days later we got to see the photos we had taken. The camera worked flawlessly. Here are a few of our favorite shots (click on an image to see it larger).
