In general, eBay prices can run hot and cold. I've gotten great bargains one day and then overpaid the next. I'd say you got a bargain. A year ago I myself got...

Just joined the group, and just bought my first half frame. I picked up nearly mint Pen F a few days, and I love it. I was half way through my second roll of...
Hi Wes, Welcome to the group! Sounds like you got a nice first half-frame camera there! My first half-frame was a Pen-F also, and it will probably be my last...
