Well, I received my Ebay Olympus 35RC a few days ago. $21.00, so I knew it wasn't going to be perfect. But it only has a fritzed exposure counter, and a dent in the filter ring that I was able to straighten. Here are the first shots using my favorite try-it-out film, Costco Fuji Superia X-Tra 400. These are Costco scans (about 4.5 to 5.0 megabytes). One is a very large crop of the corner area of a Hot Dog stand that I go to.

Hi, I also just came across a 35RC but at a Car Boot sale paid £5 ($10) for it and it is mint seals intact complete with a Mercury Battery! I put an Agfa APX 400 through it last Tuesday in Llandudno Norht Wales heres a couple of the shots

Both seem to work well. Is there a slight pincushioning in the beans tins picture?

robbiechad, sounds like you got a better deal than I (or is it me). We just don't have these camera sales in California. Nice photos.
payasam, There is some distortion, but not much compared to my Konica C35.

Good for you! If you have gotten such a camera in such a condition I ask myself what price would you be able to squeeze out for that nice motor trycicle.

The pictures are very good. The hot dog stand shows us how good colours could create this camera even with a convenient film. By the way the breakfast big bite hamburger seems to me a strong start of a morning. I think I'm going to eat something like that.
Robbiechad,
Your photos are also very nice and especially interesting for me because this is the first time I'm going to shoot B&W with my RC, so can't wait to see the results. To tell you the truth I'm very satisfied with the first rolls of my ECR and RC (I'm a foolish guy I bought two almost similar cameras...).
Honestly, I'm just thinking about my ECR and RC olympus cameras like hidden treasures!
