Olympus Trip 35 Compact Film Camera | Iconic Point-and-Shoot with Original Box

The Olympus Trip 35 is one of the most beloved compact cameras in photographic history, celebrated for its simplicity, reliability, and the stunning sharpness of its D.Zuiko 40mm f/2.8 lens. Produced from 1967 to 1984, this iconic "point-and-shoot" earned its name because it was designed to be the perfect companion for vacations and everyday life. What makes the Trip 35 truly special is its solar-powered selenium light meter, which surrounds the lens and requires no batteries to operate. This particular unit comes complete with its original box, making it a rare find for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate a complete vintage presentation.

 

Key Features

• Solar-Powered Selenium Meter: The camera generates its own power from light, meaning you never have to worry about dead batteries while traveling.

• Sharp D.Zuiko 40mm f/2.8 Lens: A high-quality four-element glass lens that delivers professional-grade sharpness and beautiful color rendering.

• Red Flag Safety System: If there isn't enough light for a good exposure, a red flag appears in the viewfinder and locks the shutter to prevent wasted film.

• Simple Zone Focusing: Four easy-to-understand icons (Portrait, Couple, Group, Landscape) make focusing quick and intuitive for any skill level.

• Automatic Exposure: The camera automatically selects between two shutter speeds (1/40s and 1/200s) for a true "aim and shoot" experience.

Condition Report

• Body: Good condition. The metal chassis and classic textured grip show very few signs of age. The winding mechanism is smooth and the film door opens and closes securely.

• Sensor / Optics: The D.Zuiko lens is clean and clear, free from fungus, haze, or scratches. The viewfinder is bright with clear framing lines.

• Mechanics / Electronics: Fully functional. The selenium meter is responsive, and the "red flag" pops up correctly in low-light conditions. The aperture blades move freely.

• Shutter Count: Not applicable (Analog film camera).

"The Trip 35 is the ultimate stress-free camera. It relies on the sun to think, and the Zuiko glass to see. Finding one with the original box is like stepping back into a 1970s camera shop—it’s a piece of history you can still use every day."
