Olympus Trip 35 SN#4342062

Camera Model: Olympus Trip 35 Serial#4342062 Description: The Olympus Trip 35 is a legendary, ultra-popular 35mm compact viewfinder camera produced by Olympus from 1967 to 1984. True to its name, it was designed specifically for travellers wanting a simple, rugged, and high-quality point-and-shoot. It has achieved massive cult status today because it is completely mechanical and famously dependable. The defining hallmark of the Trip 35 is its battery-free operation. It relies on a solar-powered selenium light meter cell that wraps like a ring right around the front lens element. This cell generates its own electricity from ambient light to control the automated exposure system, ensuring you never have to worry about a dead battery. Specifications: Lens: Olympus D.Zuiko 40mm f/2.8 (a sharp, premium 4-element lens renowned for high contrast and color clarity). Focusing: Four-zone manual scale focusing. Icons in the viewfinder display clear zone settings: close-up portrait (1m), couple (1.5m), group shot (3m), and landscape (infinity). Exposure: Programmed automatic exposure. The camera automatically toggles between just two shutter speeds: 1/40s and 1/200s. The “Red Flag” System: A smart mechanical safety feature. If a scene is too dark to achieve a proper exposure, a bright red plastic flag pops up in the viewfinder and physically locks the shutter button to prevent you from wasting film. ISO Range: Manual selection via a ring on the front, supporting film speeds from ASA/ISO 25 to 400. Build: Heavy-duty, robust all-metal body wrapped in classic black leatherette. Condition: Good condition, includes lens cap and wrist strap. Where possible we perform a CLA on second hand cameras and repair or adjust anything which needs attention.
