Olympus 35 LC, what is it worth?

[valdas]

Hi All Olympus RF lovers,

I am looking at nice (cosmetically) Olympus 35 LC on one local online auction site. It asks 30 EUR. Is this an OK price - I was checking other auction sites but could not find much information about the price range for this model.
thanks

It more depends on if you are willing to spend eur30 on http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=263958&postcount=4
If ebay have not completed auctions it means....not so common model?

well yeah, I checked SP and that one goes for much more $...

Basically you get SP with it's highly regarded lens minus spot meter. If you don't already have too many cameras, it's one to consider

And it is with box, papers, leather case... So i go after it...

Good for you to pick it up.
The 35 LC has the same lens as the 35 SP.
Trius has one.

Make sure post some pictures when you got a roll in it.

Go for it! The price is good, very good for the LC is actually less common than the SP. If the camera is in really nice, working condition with case, paperwork, etc, I'd say it is quite tempting. I would be tempted, so...

The 35 LC has a battery-powered meter. Or am I misunderstanding something?

valdas: I own one, it's a fantastic camera and a joy to use. If it's in good shape, get it.

I weren't stating opposite.

I enjoy mine, it's a solid camera and the lens is indeed great. I just really need to clean out the viewfinder, it's a bit hazy after 30+ years.
