I found a website that shows how to modify your Olympus Trip 35 to shoot at 1/200 all of the time.

Still trying to decide if that's a good thing or an unnecessary thing, but the part that attracted me, besides the wonderful photos these camera apparently take, is his link to a DOF calculator that will give you the hyper focal settings for different lenses.

Looks real handy for street shooters.

It's something I might be doing. I have a Trip 35 that came to me and someone has done a right job on the galvanometer. So it can only be used as a pure manual camera. Having it stuck on 1/40s makes it useful only for indoor/night lights up to deep shade at the very best.
Forcing it to 1/200 brings it back to being a daylight camera.

Ah, the galvanometer. Haven't heard that term since I was briefly in Scientology (although they called it an E-Meter or something). They told me that after some of their "programs" people would begin to wake up....and they were right! After a while I said to myself "self, what in the world are you doing here"? and fled from there like a banshee.

Here is another take on that 1/200s mod. http://www.flickr.com/groups/compact35/discuss/72157625941267522/
