My Olympus Trip 35 Story

I have a family photograph from 1994 that takes my breath away for its pin sharp exposure and beautiful colours so I decided to source the camera that was responsible from eBay to run a film through it in 2023 to see if its legendary performance still holds up. See what you think!

Great little camera, very capable and has reached an almost iconic status now!
I must admit I've just added one to my retro camera collection after a long search to find one locally at a reasonable price.
The model I have is almost pristine and I'm looking forward to shooting some film with it.
My quest to get one goes back a long way, on a school trip in the 1970s my best friend took his olympus trip 35, I had our family kodak instamatic, it was only after we compared photos, I realised how crude our family camera was and how much nicer the Olympus Trip photos came out.
I said back then I wanted to get one but they were way out of my pocket money price range.
Until now....😊
I've added your channel, hopefully you'll connect with another retro camera photographer. 📷

Love this vid! Your photography is beautiful and you have the voice of Marta Steward if she reviewed cameras!

Nice review and photos! Back then and the new ones. It’s a great little metal point and shoot. What a great design and functionality from good old Olympus! And brings memories. I’m 53 and there was one in the family in the 70s and 80s. Now I’ve got 3 of them. One broke unfortunately. Great job on the review. The Trip 35 deserves it.

Thanks!! I think they can be fixed. Shutter gets sticky but if it’s the Selenium that’s gone then it’s curtains.

Indeed a wonderful camera, but an SLR it is not
