Olympus Trip 35

Maybe ok if some black and white shots are taken in 35m.

Before you buy any film have a good look at the rubber seals for the back. I have a similar vintage Olympus 35RC and the rubber is all perished. Lovely camera in its day though.

Thanks, I've had a look on the back plate, no rubber seal, never was. But the camera is in excellent condition for it's age and still have the instructions and case. I used to have the dedicated flash gun at one time, but may of gave it away or sold it many years ago.

But, no harm in trying a film for a test. If, I do I may post them on here.

Play and try it out locally and nothing lost but I wouldn't dream of trusting it to take un replaceable images from any one of your epic journeys (well they are epic for someone like me who couldn't walk it - let alone take photos of it!!!) Slide film is still good if you are showing slides in a film show thro a projector - but once you've seen a digital screenshow done by someone who knows what they are doing then there's no going back to slides .... they said digi would not replace film but it has and bettered it in every way - its magic!

I saw a 35mm Kodak colour 36 exp film in Tesco, this morning, pretty cheap, so may get that and try it out some day. But 36 exp seems a lot, so, may shop around for a 24 exp.

We shall look forwards to pictures/photographs being posted.

My mistake I just dug out the 35RC it wasn't the Olymbus that had the perished seal it was my Ricoh 500GX. Loved those small rangefinders. It's always fun to get the old film cameras out occasionally.
