Hi everyone, It's great to see this video is still reaching so many folks in need! I've had many questions about the tools I used and where to buy them - I recently picked up an iFixIt kit for £20 on Amazon which I'm sure would do a much better job and serve you well for many years, affiliate link here: amzn.to/2YSmtnf I'm sorry I don't have answers for everything, I'm no expert on these cameras - this was just a single issue I thought I'd have a go at fixing, but I'm stoked that it's helped so many of you fix your cameras and get shooting again 🙂 Peace, Ben xo
Hey man! I have been fixing and going around my trip 35 and all of a sudden it seems my magnetic ball has come out of place - do you know where it goes ? would be a great help!
Great informative video thank you . Small tip when replacing small screws ....use a microscopic bit of Vaseline on the end of the screwdriver it holds the screw on the tip. Also with the hard to budge screws, try gently tightening first, this can on occasions break the seal. Hope this helps
Brilliant video, looks quite fiddly in places but fairly straight forward to work on. I've yet to find an olympus trip to add to my collection but working on it.👍😁
Thank you for this video. Thanks to your tips, I repaired my Trip 35, disassembled it, repaired it and screwed it together (which is not always successful). Great instruction, full professionalism, a revelation. Now works like new.
Excellent video. I collect vintage film cameras and I picked up a Trip 35 for free because its in a poor state. I was going to sell it for spares but you've inspired me to take it a part and give it a good clean. Thank you.
Make sure you mark the position of the name ring before taking it off and note which distance focus you use. Otherwise you wont be able to get the focus correct when re assembling and getting it right again is quite complicated , It's really important. The focus ring is most screwed in at infinity and furthest extended at closest range focus.
I did this not quite right, as I made the marking but it didn’t line up quite right. Now I have it almost fully screwed in at the landscape mode. Will this suffice or do you have any tips on how to recalibrate the focus of the lens?
@@igehring I found a blog post on how to manually set the focus of the trip 35, although I have not tried it yet. If you Google “Re-Focusing The Lens On An Olympus Trip 35”, you’ll get the blog post article as the top result. I hope it helps, I still need to make some time to do it
@@igehring I haven’t found the time yet but I did find a post on how to set the focus manually on the Trip 35. If you Google “Re-Focusing The Lens On An Olympus Trip 35”, you’ll find it, first result. I haven’t tried it yet but will make some time to do it. Hope this helps ya
Thank you,bought today aTrip 35 for 5 euro about 4,20 pounds with sticky blades, after watching your video i have now an fully working Olympus Trip 35,Again thanks
Hey Dude, those screws aren't Philips, they're JIS (Japan Industrial Standard). They must not be unscrewed with Philips screwdrivers, as the screw heads can be easily damaged. You're lucky they weren't tightened too tight. Pozdrawiam, serdecznie :)
Good tip when working with small screws. Lay some lint free paper under your camera or a cotton sheet. This way when/if you drop a screw it can't roll away or bounce off the table.
I was gifted an Olympus pen e 33 and noticed it had the same issue. Thanks for sharing, as now that I see it's a fairly straightforward process I can do it myself and save some money.
YES! My Trip 35 is now up and running! Thank you! (My lens was loose and I found out I was missing one of the screws attaching the inner lens ´mount firm on to the rest of the lens) :D
Thanks for the thorough repair process. My issue is that the Red Flag isn't popping up in dark settings at all. My aperture blades move just fine though. The camera itself looks barely used either. From what I've read if the Selenium Cell was dead, it would always show up Red, but if it's not, then what could be the issue?
Bought a Trip 35 recently and it had this problem. Thanks to your video though, I’ve now fixed it and I’m chuffed to bits with it!! Thanks for sharing this video. 👌🏻
Hi I've done the cleaning and now when I put the last part (the one that says: Lens made in Japan etc) in the socket where it goes, it works but then loses the grip. Do you know why this could be happening? it was working before.
Thank you for an excellent video on the Olympus Trip 35! Well done. The only suggestion I would make is to use separate containers for each of the screw types used in your process. Doing so would reduce the chance for picking the wrong screw when you are reassembling the camera. Your idea of only loosening some of the screws 2 or 3 rotations helps to eliminate some of confusion arising from incorrect screw placement during reassembly. Again, highly instructive video!
Hello! Thanks for your video and all the infos! I got one question: The film advance leverer of my olympus gets kinda stuck when rewinding, in the direction forward works perfectly, but backwards its not smooth and when rewinding the film gets stuck because theres not enough power from the rewinder on top; you can "move it backwards" with the fingers but still not smooth.. you have any idea how to make it more smooth so the whole rewinding process works? Maybe putting some oil or something? Or you have to change the part (plastic role of the film advance leverer)? Thanks in advance!!!
Nice clear video. Thanks for posting. I want to go a little further with the dismantle so that I can remove and re true the filter thread that is slightly oval on mine. Are there any tips you can give to avoid catastrophe whilst repairing this ring?
Hello and thank you for the excellent video. I bought one yesterday. Looking great until I saw the stationary aperture blades... Found your video and tools, the aperture blades were REALLY stuck - but I got them to move freely under spring tension. No problem. But regarding removing the lens... I followed the video and paused when " just unscrews"... Marking 12 o'clock - but not counting turns in or out! Darn! Refitting. Followed the video. I of course have a problem getting the focus right.. What do you people do? Turn counts out from fully seated or?
It was all going well until I reassembled the camera. Pulling the wires over the tripod fret is not a good idea, the yellow cable snapped and now the camera is broken because the light meter function is gone. It's a much safer way to already put the wires behind the tripod fret when you put the bit that holds the aperture and light meter back onto the inner lens - there's no risk of snapping cables that way. These cables are often old and worn and snap easily, not a good idea in any way to pull them over something.
If anyone has a jammed shutter on this camera, just take the top part off and gently pull the shutter release with some pliers. Did the trick for me. I took the lens off and didn't really need to, now I can't get it back on whilst activating the aperture. Any suggestions welcome!
I just received my grandpa's Olympus Trip 35, and the ASA ring is stucked :( I don't know what to do, I'm in Mexico, still can't find someone who can fix it, it breaks my heart because I want to use it in 100% of it's capacity
I hope you're still around answering questions. My olympus trip 35 is having issues with the film advance winder not being in sync with the film takeup spool. The spool seems loose, and when I advance the film with the winder, the sprocket with the teeth that pulls the film along spins, but the take up spool that is supposed to collect the film does not spin. How can i access / repair this?
17:28 Thanks for the tutorial. Another piece of information that took me a lot of time to figure out. Be aware when disassembling these two parts. Because there is a little ball providing the click for the Aperture. Mine fell out while disassembling and then the clickable Aperture will not work. Maybe I can help someone having the same problem. ;)
Thanks for the vid.... I'm curious aha, I've seen people mention a ball bearing...is it meant to be super visible in the lens element? Wondering if mine is missing which is why the aperture ring (silver) is moving loosely properly after cleaning the aperture...
Mine Han anther problem, the shutter is moving freely, but it does not close up again, after shooting or halfpress. Is there somebody familiar with this problem?
Really nice video thank you! I have a mechanical problem in the film loading, sometimes the wheel seems not working, not moving the film... Any advice on how to work on it?
When I reattach my lens as you do @18mins, my aperture ring doesn't click. I can' remember, did it click before? It just seems a little loose. Any thoughts? Thanks, Great video BTW!
Hey, thanks a lot for your video it seems very helpful. I have a problem though: there is a piece of glass on the entire lens. Meaning, I cannot access the screws to loosen them up in order to free the lens.. Is it normal to have this piece of glass? Does anyone know how to take it off? Thank you a lot
hey mate - would you be able to make a video or point me in the right direction of learning how to replace the battery wire for a camera? i have an very clean example of an Olympus 35DC that won’t work at all because it’s fully auto and needs a battery. battery terminals are spotless and battery is new but camera doesn’t recognise it so i can only assume it’s the wire inside is corroded or needs replacing - any tips?
What a useful video thanks so much, just got one off Ebay not sure if it works yet but this has given me the confidence to have a go at repairing if need be, are you from around the Staffordshire area? seem to know that accent.
I literally cannot get the 3 screws out - it's like they're glued in as there is absolutely no give. I even broke a screwdriver tip trying to turn one. Any advise?
Try heating the screwdriver tip then holding it in the slot to soften the grunge. You might lose the temper on the tip softening it, so be prepared to sacrifice a screwdriver.
Hi thanks for the video, I'm stuck at the spot with three black screws. Neither of my micro screwdrivers will budge any of the screws, what size screwdriver do those screws require? Thanks again!
I got a problem to losen the 3 screws at 8:00, someone had the same problem and managed to losen them? Im having a lot of difficulty in this part, does someone has hacks to dealing with them? thanks
hey I can't seem to find the micro screwdriver anywhere. where did u buy yours/ how many mm is it cuz all my screwdrivers are too big for the lens that says made in Japan? pls answer asap
my olympus trip 35 take pictures really weird. Ill click the shutter button but it doesnt make the clicking sound, so i have to roll the thing that changes the film until it clicks. the pictures are normal but is this something I should worry about
Would you know how to fix the light sensor? It’s supposed to pop up a red tab and stop the shutter button if there’s not enough light, but mine takes photos no matter what
Hi! My Trip is way out of focus, set the focus in 1m but the result photos focus way on the background, any way you can explain how to fix it so I can zone focusing correctly? Thanks! Nice video btw...
I recently bought a trip 35 from a camera shop, it was sold as excellent condition. Although when I put the camera into auto aperture mode and try to take a photo, I get the red tongue pop up. I can move to any other f stop and it works fine. Is there something wrong with the camera or am I missing something?
Hi Ben Jones , I did. I pointed it at a light and it worked fine. If I move it the slightest bit away from the light, the red alert pops up again. I didn’t know if because it had been in a box with a lens cap on, maybe the cells needed a chance to “charge” for lack of a better term.
I just bought one of these, the blades open all the way with it in auto and 2.8 but if I go to 4 and up the blades open less and less until 22 and they are almost closed and do not move. Is this normal on these cameras?
Hey! The part of my camera where I wind the film to shoot more pictures is quite stiff. Do you have any tips on how I could fix it? The camera itself still completely works and takes great photos, it's just that one part that makes winding film difficult :/
On A (auto) it will fire at either 1/40th or 1/200th, but it automatically chooses this depending on the light available. On manual, it will always fire at 1/40th, although there are hacks to override this if desired. I can't help though with fixing the jammed shutter, but I am sure there are many clever people on here that can give you advice on that...
@@oliverelmes79 Good luck. I picked one up a few months ago and love it. It's a camera I hated back in the 80's as I was an SLR snob, but after returning to film a couple of years ago with my Pentax cameras, I have found the little Trip 35 so simple and fun to use. It gives great results too!
@Pete Roberts Do you know what the black and yellow leads that connect the lens are for? Shutter speed? I've broken one of the cables and repairing it is not going to be easy!
Is there really a point in marking the lens before unscrewing it? It's the same shape all the way, so does it matter if I screw it back in in different position of the marking point? I read on internet manuals that it can affect the focusing after. But don't know if that's a valid point really.
Ben Jones just realized that previous owner already tried to fix the Trip that I do have now and probably dodaj not pay much attention to setting the lens back on correct order. Then It means my marking is wrong. What do I do now? Any chance to still have it adjusted correctly without testing on film?
Hey! I got one of these cameras for Christmas, and I put my film in and started shooting, after about 4 pictures the button I press to take the photo has stopped working? It seems jammed/ doesn’t go down the whole way, I can’t get it working. Any suggestions what to do??? Thank you
hey!! sorry for bothering u just wanted to check if ur problem is still there. cause mine photo button stopped working as well and im really upset now but can’t actually find anything to help :(
@@jayneedssomesleep4459 hey! My problem is fixed! You need to adjust the settings on the lense as it won’t take a picture if it can’t get enough light etc x
Photography by Ben Jones not yet. Literally just got it. I'm hoping it's just the blades that's the problem as the selenium seems not to prevent firing when he lens is fully covered - darkened.
@@1banana2bananas How did you get on with this? I have the same problem - aperture is stuck, but also it fires even when i point right at a light or cover the lens
Cuerpos Cósmicos You could try to find a broken donor camera on a fleamarket or in second hand shop, just some ideas. Another important thing is, the cross head screws are not Philips screws but JIS (Japan Industry Standard) the JIS screw driver will not damage the screw head, so you will need a JIS00 screw driver to disassemble / assemble the camera.
Hello! Do you have any tips on how to break free the first set of 3 screws and the 2 bottom screws? Im using a fitting screwdriver and even tried applying wd40 to them, with no results. I don’t know what else to do. I got two cameras and Im going to change the lens elements from one to the other
hello! i was trying to fix mine but i ve got a problem to losen one of the three screws (time code 8:00 approx). One of the screws is too tight and old, doesn't move at all even though i tried several hacks... Does anyone had the same problem and found the solution?
@@FamauMedia thank you so much! Yes even for some other of the screws yours looked like they came loose easier! And thank you also a lot for making this video it s great!
@@AS-ll5nd I still haven't fixed the problem, I also have special screwdrivers but nothing works. I stopped working on it to avoid damaging the screw even more and gonna take it to my local repair shop to see if they can do sth... I m sorry I can't help you, just stop working on the screw if you can't take it off...
It’s a tricky one for sure, especially when we’re really don’t want to damage anything. In the video I’d already gone through the process once to make sure it was doable, hence it looks so easy for me 🤣 but they were tough initially. (I also switched to a TH-cam “brand account” recently so all my previous comments have disappeared!)

I just bought one of these, the blades open all the way with it in auto and 2.8 but if I go to 4 and up the blades open less and less until 22 and they are almost closed and do not move. Is this normal on these cameras?
Ah good, Thanks for the quick reply.
Hi the rewind button of my trip35 is stuck. Do you know how can I fix it?
@@FamauMediaThanks..That's so nice of you..btw the shuttle is also stuck:-(
Hey! The part of my camera where I wind the film to shoot more pictures is quite stiff. Do you have any tips on how I could fix it? The camera itself still completely works and takes great photos, it's just that one part that makes winding film difficult :/
@@FamauMedia Yeah! With or without film, it's kinda stiff
Any idea how to release a jammed shutter on one of these? Also, do you know what speed the shutter fires at? No dial for it!
On A (auto) it will fire at either 1/40th or 1/200th, but it automatically chooses this depending on the light available. On manual, it will always fire at 1/40th, although there are hacks to override this if desired.
I can't help though with fixing the jammed shutter, but I am sure there are many clever people on here that can give you advice on that...
@@MrPeteRoberts Thanks for the reply. That's a pretty slow shutter speed! Hopefully I can get it fixed and see the results
@@oliverelmes79 Good luck. I picked one up a few months ago and love it. It's a camera I hated back in the 80's as I was an SLR snob, but after returning to film a couple of years ago with my Pentax cameras, I have found the little Trip 35 so simple and fun to use. It gives great results too!
@@MrPeteRoberts That's what I love about it. It's simplicity !
@Pete Roberts Do you know what the black and yellow leads that connect the lens are for? Shutter speed? I've broken one of the cables and repairing it is not going to be easy!
Picked on up today with the same problem, what size are the screwdrivers you're using? thanks.
@@FamauMediaThanks a lot
Is there really a point in marking the lens before unscrewing it? It's the same shape all the way, so does it matter if I screw it back in in different position of the marking point? I read on internet manuals that it can affect the focusing after. But don't know if that's a valid point really.
Ben Jones thanks!
Ben Jones just realized that previous owner already tried to fix the Trip that I do have now and probably dodaj not pay much attention to setting the lens back on correct order. Then It means my marking is wrong. What do I do now? Any chance to still have it adjusted correctly without testing on film?
Ben Jones I found the way, check this out: 120studio.com/olympus-trip35-focus.htm
Cheers!
And what do you do if the blades are sticking?
@@FamauMedia thanks for the reply, I saw another video which said cleaning them with lighter fluid helps to stop it sticking and it worked a treat :-)
Hey! I got one of these cameras for Christmas, and I put my film in and started shooting, after about 4 pictures the button I press to take the photo has stopped working? It seems jammed/ doesn’t go down the whole way, I can’t get it working. Any suggestions what to do??? Thank you
hey!! sorry for bothering u just wanted to check if ur problem is still there. cause mine photo button stopped working as well and im really upset now but can’t actually find anything to help :(
@@jayneedssomesleep4459 hey! My problem is fixed! You need to adjust the settings on the lense as it won’t take a picture if it can’t get enough light etc x
Thanks for the vid. Just got one and the apt blades are stuck.
Photography by Ben Jones not yet. Literally just got it. I'm hoping it's just the blades that's the problem as the selenium seems not to prevent firing when he lens is fully covered - darkened.
@@1banana2bananas How did you get on with this? I have the same problem - aperture is stuck, but also it fires even when i point right at a light or cover the lens
I recently bought one of those that lost 3 screws. Does anybody know where can I buy the same screws ?
Cuerpos Cósmicos You could try to find a broken donor camera on a fleamarket or in second hand shop, just some ideas.
Another important thing is, the cross head screws are not Philips screws but JIS (Japan Industry Standard) the JIS screw driver will not damage the screw head, so you will need a JIS00 screw driver to disassemble / assemble the camera.
that was a great guide, thank you!
Thank you for your excellent video.
can you do it with film inside?
I'm sure you can, but I'd rather not just in case there's any light leakage
It's good stuff Ben, keep up the good work :-)
Worked on mine. Thanks for the info ;-)
Thank you, man) Really helpfull)
Hello! Do you have any tips on how to break free the first set of 3 screws and the 2 bottom screws? Im using a fitting screwdriver and even tried applying wd40 to them, with no results. I don’t know what else to do. I got two cameras and Im going to change the lens elements from one to the other
Try gently tightening them first then unscrew, I have tried this and it occasionally works
Where did you purchase the micro screwdrivers from?
For the life of me, I can't get the three little screws to budge. :(
damn! i need to fix my trip 35 in 2021... does this still apply?!
It didn't, but fixed it for you 👊
@@FamauMedia it all makes sense now, thanks!
for real just used this video to fix my trip 35 and it was super helpful, thanks mate!
hello! i was trying to fix mine but i ve got a problem to losen one of the three screws (time code 8:00 approx). One of the screws is too tight and old, doesn't move at all even though i tried several hacks... Does anyone had the same problem and found the solution?
@@FamauMedia thank you so much! Yes even for some other of the screws yours looked like they came loose easier! And thank you also a lot for making this video it s great!
@@AS-ll5nd I still haven't fixed the problem, I also have special screwdrivers but nothing works. I stopped working on it to avoid damaging the screw even more and gonna take it to my local repair shop to see if they can do sth... I m sorry I can't help you, just stop working on the screw if you can't take it off...
It’s a tricky one for sure, especially when we’re really don’t want to damage anything. In the video I’d already gone through the process once to make sure it was doable, hence it looks so easy for me 🤣 but they were tough initially. (I also switched to a TH-cam “brand account” recently so all my previous comments have disappeared!)
It’s also great to see so many people still helping each other out, I love this community!
I have the same problem, all three screws are too tight to even move a bit :(
HOW WAS THIS POSYED 2 YEARS AGO
YOUR SHIRT!!!
MATE!!!
