I see a few complaints in social media that the new OM Pen is not a Pen F successor. When you look at the spec the new Pen is better in almost everyway, as it should be. Better weather sealed, better focus, subject and eye detect, and the same price as a second hand ten year old Pen F.
People forget the Pen F was a commercial failure. It did not sell. That metal seamless body was expensive to produce. You cannot expect the company to risk it again. Would you pay £1500 – £1800 for a Pen F mark II, with the same features as the new Pen but with better weather sealing and a metal body. Thats a lot to pay for two small things.
