D:22 Is That a Pen-D?

During my teenage years my grandfather from Hawaii would give me old cameras, just little souvenirs before I flew home. Most were in varied states of disrepair. One old Nikon worked very well and produced excellent images. Unfortunately after over a decade of moves, the trusty old Nikon has vanished. I still get a little sad thinking about it.

I still have many of his old cameras, most of which are just decorations on bookshelves. I pulled one off of the shelf tonight to try some new lighting techniques.

As I looked through my shots in Lightroom, I realized that this camera was an Olympus Pen-D, manufactured around 1962. I've had these cameras for so long that I've never spent any amount of time to learn anything about them. It's interesting what you can learn about things around you when you just take the time to look.

I usually shoot in manual mode. It's just something I've grown used to.
