Olympus Trip 35 35mm Point and Shoot Film Camera

This camera has to be for it,s time one of the most easy to use cameras. although quite dated in todays world of Cameras and the digital age.
I still use mine and get great photographs. it,s always close by ready to use. I have brought a other one as my son is always after me to give him mine.
My Olympus trip has made over 10 trips with me to Australia, and spent over 4 months back packing in all weathers. trips to Turkey sailing etc it has never let me down or given one ounce of trouble,Many cameras have come since but my Olympus trip is still with me and used on a regular basis. it,s easy to use light weight, My only comment against it is loading the film, where my Minolta is a drop in cartridge film,

Carry a Trip and you carry a point and shoot camera capable of holding its own, image-wise, with nearly all other 35mm cameras up to all but the largest of enlargement sizes. Virtually silent in operation - prob only you will hear it go off. Always immediately ready for candid work unlike digital where the subject has moved on by the time the camera has become ready for use. My Olympus pocket digital really has nearly been binned on many occasions in frustration at being too slow for catching that Decisive Moment!! Waste of time - get a Trip!! Pretty acceptable lowlight results to be had using 400asa film and the 2.8 setting. Always go for silver buttons as they were better made internally. Gamble on a real bargain - repair is easy if you check out the web for instructions + light seal replacement is a doddle and most advertised cheaply with loose lens only need a simple tightening of 3 screws just under the selenium cell to bring them back to A1 health. Always get one with working meter / selenium cell and keep it covered when not in use. Olympus OM system user since 1979 - there is no discernible difference in image quality between the Trip and OMs at standard print size. My first Trip was bought years ago pre-eBay on a market stall - virtually mint and cost £10 with flash and orig lens cap. Now everyone knows about them being gems!! Get one before prices get really silly - already these have disappeared from charity shops at charity / bargain prices. Recently had to tighten the lens on my original Trip but now its as flawless as ever. If I had to choose one film camera to survive the digital age with it would be a Trip. Plenty of info backup available on the web too. It's worth mentioning as I see Trips on here offered as being pre 1970 that very early ones will only go up to 200asa and will have all 4 distance symbols in orange. Check before you bid. Date codes suggesting otherwise may be the result of a replacement back having been fitted at some point. Certainly serial numbers will be either under 1 million or just above it.

Beautiful little camera, I indulged in the original one with the silver shutter and it's just great. Incredible little 2.8 40mm olympus zuiko lens. Halfway through a roll of film on it, hopefully with come out great. The selenium cell means it gives you automatic exposure without needing an batteries which is also a great feature.
This youtube review I found was very useful:

highly recommend this camera,
buy one while they're still cheap!

This camera was light years ahead of its time. Just shows how advanced the Japaneze were on camera production.
I have a collection of these little cameras, and they produce fantastic photographs.
Not a bad word to say about the Olympus Trip 35

I bought the trip 35 because i heard it is one of the best rangefinders and is available for a cheap price. I love the fact that i now have a light, compact camera to take with me wherever i go. I am 100 percent sure i will be more than satisfied with the result of the film i have just put in it. If you want a cheap, quality rangefinder the trip 35 is the way to go!
