The chronology looks correct to me. Note that the reference to Pen F specifies
that it was the first half-frame SLR system; previous Pens had all been
viewfinder systems (all half-frame).

would you please visit this PEN oriented web page and let me know if
you think the chronology information is incorrect.
It would appear that the initial versions of PEN were not half frame
but it does not state which exact models were. It just states when
the first half frame version was introduced ? ? ?

Perhaps we could get John Foster to look and see what he thinks ? ? ?
Thanks.
