Olympus 35 RC

[Anthsmith]

Hello I have recently acquired a Olympus 35 RC, does any one know where I can get a service manual.

Thanks Anthony

Unless you're looking for a paper version, you can download one at manualslib dot com.

Hope this helps. 🙂

Edit: apologies - I missed the word "service" in your post... 😱

2nd edit: I've just looked, and they have a "Repair Manual".

Try searching on-line for Matt's classic cameras website, navigate to the 35rc page, and scroll to the bottom. There you'll find some (hopefully) useful links. 🙂 (Matt's is another useful site, too)

Thanks again, have fired off an email to him. The only real problem i am having is with the frame counter reset spring.

Sometimes mushy light seals can gum up the reset spring - may just need a clean with lighter fluid.

There is a very detailed and well-illustrated article on servicing the 35RC at the Kiev Survival site:

Rick Oleson's site has some good disassembly instructions. I don't know if there is anything on the spring. The explanation and illustrations about adjusting the meter are excellent:

I have an RC, fortunately working correctly. However the RC has a hard to find filter size, 43.5mm. For mine I bought off ebay a 43.5 to 43mm step down filter adapter. It doesn't block the meter window and 43mm filters and hoods and lens caps are much more plentiful.
Just a heads up.

Rick Oleson CLA'd my RC but he will not do them anymore, at least that was what I heard. He did a great job on mine so if you need repair at least check with him.
