Yup, that multi-colored sucker sure ain't pretty. But she pulled in 500 big ones for the seller so she must be attractive to someone!
shadowfox said:Hey, wait, I didn't know that there's a white one...
Yup, they exist but are as rare as hens teeth. It's officially called 'Urban White' which is an off-white cream color.
shadowfox said:Andrew, you may be the right person to answer this: what's the difference between Pen EE, EE-2 and EE-3 ?
EE-2 and EE-3 have hinged backs, EE has a removable back.
EE-2 and EE-3 have a hotshoe and a PC connector but EE has no shoe (PC only).
EE-2 and EE-3 have auto-resetting frame counters but EE is manual.
EE-2 and EE-3 have an ASA range of 25-400 but EE is 10-200.
EE-2 and EE-3 both weigh 335 grams but EE is slightly heavier at 370.
EE-2 and EE-3 are 1mm deeper than the EE. But all three have the same dimensions in height and width.
EE-2 and EE-3 have easy loading multi-slotted film take-up spool but EE has only two very skinny slots.
All three have the same lens, a 28mm f3.5 4 element in 3 groups.
They all have a two-speed shutter but the speeds vary:
EE: 1/30 & 1/250 (early versions had a single-speed shutter)
EE-2 and EE-3: 1/40 & 1/200
Other than that there are minor cosmetic changes such as different colored viewfinder surrounds, body coverings and shutter release buttons. Differences between the EE-2 and EE-3 are extremely minor cosmetic changes and it makes me wonder why they bothered changing the model designation at all.
Hope this makes things clearer!
