In the mid 1970's I caught the photography bug from my uncle Freddy and he bought me a 126 format x177, (my memory may be a bit blurry), what I really wanted was an Olympus 35 Trip, after all if it was good enought for David Bailey
Since then I have owned and replaced two trips, I also own an xa, rc and have owned an SP and OM4, (with the usual zuiko lens lineup). So I guess I am biased but I must say the Olympus Trip 35 with its 40/2.8 zuiko is a real bargain and in the right conditions a great image maker,a real gem of a cmaera. Do any of the forum members regularly shoot with one of these
kind regards Mick

When I met David Bailey he seemed pretty impressed that I pulled out a Hasselblad to take his photo...
Maybe he would have shook my hand if it was an Oly

I don't regularly shoot mine but I do take it on 'trips.' Right now the meter isn't working, but it died so rapidly I'm hoping I goofed a wire when I took it apart for a frame counter fix. So mine could possibly be up for sale, of course, the price would be $0.00 plus shipping and handling.

I have two Trips and two 35RCs - they are all much-loved but one of the Trips has a minor focussing issue which needs recalibrating.
I'm also a big OM fan and have five different OM SLRs with a variety of lenses - Mr Maitani has a lot to answer for...!

I have a Trip in immaculate condition sitting in front of me right now. I've put woefully few rolls of film through it, but when I focus properly, I'm always shocked by how good the images are. I need to retrain myself to not try to use it like I use my other fancy cameras with faster lenses, because I always get a little disappointed. When I use it in non-extreme photographic situations, though, it performs quite well. I love the fact that it will never need batteries, and something about the flag that pops up when there's not enough light amuses me every time it happens.

My trip-le Olys.
Along with my XA, Mju-II and other films cameras they've not seen action in ages since I'm shooting mostly digital, but I can certainly vouch for the quality of the lens. Gotta give these a run out soon.
