Olympus Trip 35 35mm Point and Shoot Film Camera with 40mm f2.8 Lens
Description:
The Olympus Trip 35 is one of those cameras that just works. Point it, press the shutter, and get great shots. There’s no need to think about settings, which makes it a perfect first film camera or a reliable everyday companion. The 40mm f/2.8 D.Zuiko lens is sharp, well-built, and gives you a natural field of view that sits nicely between a classic 50mm and a wider 35mm. The selenium-powered automatic exposure system means the camera needs no batteries at all, so you never have to worry about dead cells when you’re out. It’s mostly metal, feels solid in the hand, and is compact enough to slip into a bag or a jacket pocket. If you love shooting outdoors, travelling, or just want something you can grab and go, this is one of the best cameras for that.

Due to the age of this camera and the nature of old light meters we can’t guarantee that the light meter still works. This isn’t an issue as the camera will function perfectly without batteries. To meter a scene before taking a picture we recommend using an external light meter or for you to take our online course that will teach you how to use a film camera without the use of any external tools.
