35 SP Case and Cap

[kravi]

Dear All,

I am new to this community and this is my first post here. Some days back I got a Olympus 35 sp from ebay, but lens cap and case were missing.
I was wondering if anyone can guide me towards getting these.

I am excited to delve into film photography although I have been using Canon DSLRs from last 4 years.

Thanks.

Regards,
Ravi

Welcome.

That's not unusual. When I've bought an SP I have got a cap, sometimes not.

Enjoy the SP -- it is a great camera.

Thanks a lot Trius. I am eagerly waiting for the film which I have ordered to start shooting.

You can use the standard snap on lens cap supplied with the OM Zuiko 50mm lens.

The SP is really nice to use. Have fun!

My 35-SP came with the complete case but no lens cap...I found a Pentax lens cap somewhere in my closet and then later bought an Olympus hood at a pawn shop...
It works...
I've only had a few rolls through my SP but I like it so far...
Have fun using yours...
If you have a battery in yours, the camera case is your "On-Off" switch...keep an eye on *bay for a case...

The SP came with three different types of caps. The most common is a 51mm slip-on cap which says Olympus on the front. Another version says Olympus Tokyo, the last is a 49mm snap-in cap similar to the caps that fit most Olympus OM lenses, but is all black with a serrated edge. The same cap was used on the uncommon M series lenses. The regular OM series 49mm cap is easy to find, and is cheap.

Cases are not so easy to find. Here in Japan they sell for about $5, but they don't come up that often.

Thanks a lot everyone for useful info. I will get a 49mm snap-in cap which seems to be easily available on ebay.

I think I actually have a case laying around somewhere. It was from one of my SPs I had previously. I recall it coming apart a bit, but if I can find it, you can have it for the shipping cost to send it to you 🙂. I imagine a little bit of glue would hold the bottom bit back in place (otherwise it was in pretty good shape I recall)

Dear agphotography,

If you can find it, it will be awesome. Please let me know and I will transfer the shipping cost to you.

Thanks a lot.
