There is a nice 6-page article by Ivor Matanle in this weeks UK Amateur
Photographer magazine on the Olympus Pen series of fixed lens, half-frame,
compact cameras. He describes the development of the series over the years
from 1960 to about 1981, and he gives tips on which ones to avoid (unless
you're a collector) and which are the better models to buy to use. He is
very fulsome in his praise for most of the models, commenting on the
excellent quality of the Zuiko lenses and the reliability of the mechanics.
He does not cover the Pen half-frame SLR cameras or lenses.
Designed by Maitani, of course.
