This little camera was the first camera I ever used as a child. Was our first "family" camera. Amazingly simple to use and still takes great pic 40 years on. Love it.
I worked in a photographic shop from 1980 -1996 and we used to take pics on various films including Ilford Pan F and blow the resulting negatives up to 20 x 16" to display in the shop. the results were absolutely incredible. My wife had one for years and took some amazing street photography type shots on various holidays in Greece Portugal Italy France etc. That little Zuiko lens was a true gem...
Another excellent video on an absolute classic. The little 40mm f2.8 D design is possibly the best lens type for this sort of camera (10M+ users can't be wrong!)
Bought mine in a street market in Split, Croatia for €30 a few years back. I'd never used one. It didn't have a lens cap. I found a shop selling film, wound it on and shot the roll in a day, hoping I'd worked out how to work the camera. Some of the results were a bit unfocussed but where I'd got it right... wow. Amazing, colourful, sharp photos. I don't use it, but I'm not planning to sell it either. Beautiful design. Olympus should do a digital version in micro four thirds. Fixed 20mm lens, no autofocus, no rear screen. Just zone focus and a view finder. Work out what you got when you get home. Spartan digital photography!
Great video Ade. Olympus really made some good 35mm cameras, I love my 35 RC. The selenium light cell on the Trip 35 is convenient and avoids the search for discontinued battery types.
That's one giant benefit of the Trip. It's also the downfall, because if the cell dies, the camera becomes kind of useless. Well, you can still set the aperture manually and lie about the ASA I guess.. but life's too short for all that haha.
The overlap is to make it possible to see the focus setting in the little extra window on the lower right. The one before infinity, the group, is the hyper focal range. That's why it's coloured red. I find rangefinders hard and slow to focus in many situations. It's often difficult to find a suited contrast edge to do the focusing on. I also find the lens mount on the 35 RC wobbly, cheap feeling and fiddly to use compared to the Trip. The Trip is also far easier to find and cheaper. It has a slightly smaller lens but would be my choice for most occasions.
The Trip is far easier to find for sure. I see them a lot in charity shops around here. Wow, I didn't know about the hyperfocal range. That's good to know!
Great video! I used to own a 35SP and a 35RC and, now I've watched your video, I want to buy both of them again. I have a few Trips, so they will do me for now. I'm old enough to remember the David Bailey TV advert but I had a Zenit EM back then. Anyway, thank you for reviving my interest in film photography!
Thanks for your video. I have had one of these cameras (equally in as good condition as your own) for about 10 years, and it always performs well. It’s a very easy camera to use and it’s great for catching really sharp images.
Just bought one today for £20 - loaded some HP5 into it a few minutes ago, will give it a go tomorrow. I read a few reviews of them, and just had to get one! Now I have all the cameras I will need for the rest of my life; Trip 35 and a Nikon FE. Now to get some accessories for the Trip from probably the Trip Man. Just a yellow filter and a lens cap . That's it. Oh yeah, and I was out and about in London when I found the Trip. all the best, Scotty. Love the vid.
I have one of these. 2nd generation with the plastic shutter release button rather than the original metal one. And this is another really interesting, informative and entertaining video. Thanks.
Love the simpleness and casualness of your video, super in-depth! If you're interested we did a comparison video comparing it to the Olympus XA2, another amazing Olympus camera!
hey, I'm so happy that you exist ! I love analog camera's but unfortunately there aren't many channels about them anymore. the trip is still one of my faves:D great video
Youre welcome :) and no, I can transfer them to my laptop, but I don't really know where I should publish them to be honest. So I just stick them to my wall and in a book :p
I wish we had a group like that in Preston. I've subscribed, partly for the best review I've heard in a long time and partly for your perfect diction which I'm totally envious of.
Hahaha. Many thanks. It's a very fun group. I'm lucky to live in trendy London.. we have a lot of stuff like that here. If it's any encouragement I actually have a slight speech impediment which I have overcome by constantly talking haha.
sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Sam Dustin Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I just love it. So simple yet very nice results. I used it to photograph a guy using a metal detector on the beach. First time I asked a stranger to take their picture. The cheeky little camera must have inspired the confidence.
goood that you made this videos. i started to be more interested in analouge photography and i realised that in my african photography seminars. thank you, i will also check out all your other videos
Have been looking around for a new film camera and decided on the Trip. Unwrapped a present this Christmas morning to find an absolutely mint one! Have ordered some film which should arrive on the 27th. Can't wait to go out on a shoot!
I had one which I picked up for £2, sadly don't have it any more but the image quality was fantastic and they look great as well, if you see one get it!
keh.com, who I gave had nothing but great experiences with to this point. Generally, they under rate their gear or are at least very good about notating such issues. Awaiting their response currently.
Thank you! Yes they are really value for money. Mind you, the price does spike now and again when a positive video/review gets popular online haha. Sorry :)
This is the first review I've seen when somebody talks about the lens showing up in the viewfinder! I know I'll get used to it and is not that big of a deal but IT IS a little annoying lol
Good job! I have two but they seem to not work. I think the selenium doesn't work anymore. Its always a roll of the dice when buying them from thrift stores.
Thanks once again very informative, being a trip 35 owner of both early and late models ( metal/plastic shutter button ) .. I found your help welcome... little plea..............you do great... However, The Irritating Piano music really isn't needed....Cheers
Thanks for the feedback. I've tried some 'better' music in the past, but RUclips keeps hitting me with copyright strikes even though I got the music from supposedly copyright-free places. I think I will probably stay away from music generally.
I'm daft I Didn't think about copy right's etc....Thank you for the replay and keep the films coming I've gone and bought a couple of cameras on the strength of your comments......................No Pressure lol Cheers
Another great review. I've been keeping an eye out for a trip myself but yet to come across one. I preference to pick my cameras up in car boot sales or charity shops so I could be waiting a while 😩 Your photographs were fantastic!
Thanks so much! There are many of them on eBay, but I've never seen one in a charity shop now that I think about it. Maybe they get grabbed quickly hehe.
Great video! I just bought one of these at a swap meet for ten dollars. Mine is an early model with the chrome shutter button. Evidently the ISO on the early models only goes to 200. Kinda crappy but I usually shoot ISO 100 film anyway. I have already fallen in love with this little guy though!
do u have any experience of switching to for example the 2.8 mode when its too dark to take a pic on Automatic? I never know if my picture will come out looking good, even though I don’t think its too dark in the moment.
I shot with the trip 35 a few months ago and I loved it, I hated it. It's a super cool camera but the zone focusing is just not my thing. I felt like I was guessing and just didn't feel confident with it at all.
Yeah I agree. It just takes getting used to. Towards the end, I didn't mind too much. I think once you're used one system, it's sometimes hard to use another.
Why is it better to shoot full automatic? I tested my first roll with the trip in summer and for really sunny photos I would just change aperture to f16 and the photos came out just fine. Same goes for cloudy conditions, f11.
Also, for night shots I heard its good to set aperture at 2.8 with a 400ASA film. But what about the ASA setting on the camera? Should it also remain set at 400ASA?
So would you say that this camera is possible to use 100% manually? Or should I put a battery in? What kind of battery does it need and is it still available?
I have no idea to be honest. I'm sure you can find an Instagram meetup of film shooters.. but then they have to be in your part of Germany. It's a big country :)
Top tip; if you see one at a car boot sale/junk shop, to test if the selenium battery still works then put your hand over the lens and the red flag pops up in the viewfinder then the camera is working, if the flag doesn't pop up then it's knackered.
This may be a dumb question but how is it in the rain? I'm going camping and I want to take my dads old trip 35 but it may be raining on at least one day. I wanna make sure it doesn't ruin it
Hi, The photos shown in this video were taken with the Agfa Vista 200 which is a pretty cheap colour film. I've also since used HP5+ with remarkable results.
:) Thank you Megan. It's a mix of a lot of things as I've lived in a lot of places growing up. I'd say it's about 70% British, 10% West African, 10% American and 10% mish-mash jumble-jumble mumbo-jumbo :)
I've got this camera today, just a question. Once i roll the film and press thew shutter button, should i still be able to keep pressing the shutter button once the picture has been taken? Will it ruin the film if i keep pressing the button while not rewinding the film? Thank you!
No. The camera has a selenium light sensitive cell around the lens, measuring the available a light. There's an ingenious needle mechanism setting the aperture and shutter speed. ALWAYS cap the camera when not in use, to prevent unnecessary aging of the light cell. Once its dead, its dead. Manual exposure will still be possible. I'm a Trip guy till I die!
haha. You better register #TeamTrip quick :) I have a lovely cap on mine. The previous owner either took exceptional care of it, or put it away in the closet somewhere for 35 years.
JESUS CHRIST MY EARS!
5:35 scared the heck out of me.
Still an awesome video!
Just picked one up and i‘m looking forward to shooting it
+Daniel Melzer Photography yikes sorry 😄
This little camera was the first camera I ever used as a child. Was our first "family" camera. Amazingly simple to use and still takes great pic 40 years on. Love it.
Very simple to use. Just put it on A and away you go :)

Another excellent video on an absolute classic. The little 40mm f2.8 D design is possibly the best lens type for this sort of camera (10M+ users can't be wrong!)
Many thanks sir. I can see what the fuss is all about now. :) And now that I know the exposure is dependable, I'm going to shoot it a lot more.
Bought mine in a street market in Split, Croatia for €30 a few years back. I'd never used one. It didn't have a lens cap.

I love my Trip too, it's sharp as a diamond and 100% reliable. Thanks for another great episode.
Thanks for watching :)
Absolutely love this camera. I now have three. One for black and white film. One for Kodak Portra. And one with Fuji Velvia slide film.
Nice. You can't have too many trips. 👍🏾
What film do you use in black and white pics?
Great video Ade. Olympus really made some good 35mm cameras, I love my 35 RC.

Great vids! For generic street shooting - I’m going to assume we would set the focus to group? Or infinity?
Thanks for your video. I have had one of these cameras (equally in as good condition as your own) for about 10 years, and it always performs well. It’s a very easy camera to use and it’s great for catching really sharp images.

Thanks. I try :)
I have one of these. 2nd generation with the plastic shutter release button rather than the original metal one. And this is another really interesting, informative and entertaining video. Thanks.
Thanks for watching. I enjoyed this camera so much that I was shooting it again today :)
Love the simpleness and casualness of your video, super in-depth! If you're interested we did a comparison video comparing it to the Olympus XA2, another amazing Olympus camera!
I watch all your videos. They're awesome ✌ .. and thanks for the compliment :)
most enjoyable video and photo adventure.
cheers and thank you
hey, I'm so happy that you exist ! I love analog camera's but unfortunately there aren't many channels about them anymore. the trip is still one of my faves:D great video
That's such a nice thing to say. I'm encouraged :) Thanks for watching.
Do you publish your photos somewhere?
Youre welcome :) and no, I can transfer them to my laptop, but I don't really know where I should publish them to be honest. So I just stick them to my wall and in a book :p
The35mmGirl :) That's prefect I guess. I also make books and hang some on a wall. I do the whole pegging on a thread thing :)
heey show me which thread, I will check it out :p
I get it in a shop called Tiger, but I'm sure it's on Amazon as well. I just did a search and "photo clip and string" should return something similar.
I wish we had a group like that in Preston. I've subscribed, partly for the best review I've heard in a long time and partly for your perfect diction which I'm totally envious of.
Hahaha. Many thanks. It's a very fun group. I'm lucky to live in trendy London.. we have a lot of stuff like that here.

@Sam Dustin Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Sam Dustin It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass!
Finally got myself a Trip 35 today! Just such a joy to use.
YAY. How's it going with that?
I just love it. So simple yet very nice results. I used it to photograph a guy using a metal detector on the beach. First time I asked a stranger to take their picture. The cheeky little camera must have inspired the confidence.
Good. Good. As always! Never leave YT my friend. And the results where great too. Loved the high heels shot! Well done.
goood that you made this videos. i started to be more interested in analouge photography and i realised that in my african photography seminars. thank you, i will also check out all your other videos
Thanks for watching. Love your abstract videos.
Have been looking around for a new film camera and decided on the Trip. Unwrapped a present this Christmas morning to find an absolutely mint one! Have ordered some film which should arrive on the 27th. Can't wait to go out on a shoot!
Nice! Hope you got your film today :) It's a little beauty.
I literally just bought one a few minutes ago on eBay. With a custom red leather. Looks so sexy
I had one which I picked up for £2, sadly don't have it any more but the image quality was fantastic and they look great as well, if you see one get it!
£2 is an exceptional deal.
Cracking video Ade, and nice to meet ya very briefly yesterday ✌🏼️
Thanks! I love the group. Hope to make the next one.
Your video inspired me to order one. can't wait!
Fantastic. Fingers crossed :)
Unfortunately, it arrived with a dead light meter and frozen aperture blades. 😕
That's outrageous! Was that from eBay?
keh.com, who I gave had nothing but great experiences with to this point. Generally, they under rate their gear or are at least very good about notating such issues. Awaiting their response currently.
The Vinyl Album I hope you get your money back. It's unacceptable to sell something that broken without disclosing that it is.
The lens is NOT obscuring the viewfinder. There is a small window there so you can check the exposure and focus setting.
I have one and still love it 😀
Fantastic review as usual :)
Thank you sir.
Oh man, I love watching your stuff 🤘
nice to see your appreciation of trip 35 - very nice video! =)
Thank you so much.
Such an amazing review, really surprised at how cheap these are. Hopefully picking one up. Thanks for the video!
Thank you! Yes they are really value for money. Mind you, the price does spike now and again when a positive video/review gets popular online haha. Sorry :)
Wonderful video
Always enjoy listening to your film clips. Keep going, your doing well.
Thanks Brian :)
could listen to you talkk about anything, super relaxing...
Hahaha thanks 🙏🏾
This is the first review I've seen when somebody talks about the lens showing up in the viewfinder! I know I'll get used to it and is not that big of a deal but IT IS a little annoying lol
Wish you were still active these are great videos
Just thrifted one today 😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 great video
I took your advice and bought one off eBay. Hope it works properly.
youtubers made this camera expensive lol
Sorry 😆
Good job! I have two but they seem to not work. I think the selenium doesn't work anymore. Its always a roll of the dice when buying them from thrift stores.
Absolutely. You never really know till you've put the test roll through.. which is why I was a little nervous with this one :)
Old Cameras now I remember why they don't work: sticky shutters! Going to try surgery on one and I'll let you know how it goes.
It might be the aperture blades that are stuck.. Easy fix
www.lomography.com/magazine/95094-fix-and-refurbish-an-olympus-trip-35
Excellent shots and excellent narration! You have a very pleasant voice.
Thank you, that's very nice of you to say :)
I'm going to buy one. Great video!
:-) Awesome! Enjoy it!
Nice review, my Girl and I both own Trip 35s, Such a cool little camera

I have used this camera on and off now for some years
And it comes up trumps
On or off
Awesome review mate I just bought one of these for 30 quid. Gets ere on thursday so out shooting friday. Cant wait. Cheers for the inspiration mate.
Another great review. I've been keeping an eye out for a trip myself but yet to come across one.
I preference to pick my cameras up in car boot sales or charity shops so I could be waiting a while 😩
Your photographs were fantastic!
Thanks so much! There are many of them on eBay, but I've never seen one in a charity shop now that I think about it. Maybe they get grabbed quickly hehe.

Ah very nice. Yeah, I'm on a trip right now (no pun :) ) and I've only got this camera and my iPhone.
Well-done. I'll look for your 35 SP video now...
do u have any experience of switching to for example the 2.8 mode when its too dark to take a pic on Automatic? I never know if my picture will come out looking good, even though I don’t think its too dark in the moment.
Your photos were fantastic! I just ordered one of these beauties. May I ask what kind of film was used in your one film photo walk. Thank you!
Great photos you took. I did not know the lens is so good.
What film did you use again?
Thank you. Yes it's a pretty good lens on that camera. Those Zuiko lenses were great.
I'm not sure what the film was, it's been ages. Sorry.
I’ve got 8 of them near mint to mint including a rare black body in mint condition.
Do u sell one?
I tried it now for like three times but I still can't catch the film your using?
Great Video, by the way - made me buy one, too.
:) Agfa Vista Plus 200.
Hope you got a good price and a camera in good condition.
Great video my man.
Try a Pentax MX. Good eye, mate.
I shot with the trip 35 a few months ago and I loved it, I hated it. It's a super cool camera but the zone focusing is just not my thing. I felt like I was guessing and just didn't feel confident with it at all.
Yeah I agree. It just takes getting used to. Towards the end, I didn't mind too much. I think once you're used one system, it's sometimes hard to use another.
Greetings. You do not need it to be sunny, to use the sunny 16-rule. You can reply to this, if you wish to know more.
If I ever make it to London, I’d love to join a photowalk with you!
Lets do it Dave. :)
Can't I really choose apperture without a flash? And if I do. How would it affect the focus from the focus ring on the camera?
Why is it better to shoot full automatic? I tested my first roll with the trip in summer and for really sunny photos I would just change aperture to f16 and the photos came out just fine. Same goes for cloudy conditions, f11.
Also, for night shots I heard its good to set aperture at 2.8 with a 400ASA film. But what about the ASA setting on the camera? Should it also remain set at 400ASA?
Dyou can even change the iso at any film camera since each roll has a fixed iso setting?
So would you say that this camera is possible to use 100% manually? Or should I put a battery in? What kind of battery does it need and is it still available?
Just get mine for 10€ today! Looking forward to use it🙌
Picked a working Trip and Pen EE in a kringloopwinkel for 5 euros each last week...... woo-hoo!
I see you chirpsing dem gial dem..
:)
I wish I can do photo walk with One_Film Someday! Do you know if they do photowalk event in Germany?
I have no idea to be honest. I'm sure you can find an Instagram meetup of film shooters.. but then they have to be in your part of Germany. It's a big country :)
Old Cameras Ok yeah, I see what you mean. I was just wondering because I'm about to move back again to Germany in a couple of months.
Top tip; if you see one at a car boot sale/junk shop, to test if the selenium battery still works then put your hand over the lens and the red flag pops up in the viewfinder then the camera is working, if the flag doesn't pop up then it's knackered.
Great tip, thanks
I would suggest just spending a couple extra bucks and getting a real rangefinder like the canonet, yashica, 35RC, etc.
This may be a dumb question but how is it in the rain? I'm going camping and I want to take my dads old trip 35 but it may be raining on at least one day. I wanna make sure it doesn't ruin it
Sorry about the late reply. I wouldn't use it in the rain without an umbrella. I don't think it's waterproof
Why were your photos disqualified for the contest ? They look ok to me.
Good info, thanks. Just got my first trip 35 this week.
My number is 7Z if anyone knows what that means?
December 1977, I think.
@@davidwenn94 thank you David, it only took two years 😅
I still have the camera though so info is still nice to know.
Have a good day.
on what size did you print those photos? i want to make an album out of mine thanks to your video. Beautiful photos man
Thank you. Printed 5 x 7
Hi, I enjoyed the video. Can you tell me where you had your film processed and printed?
From memory on that day we all had then done at snappy snaps, at Angel in London
@@OldCameras Many thanks,
I am currently shooting with my trip 35 for the first time on HP5+ . What film did you use in this photo ?
Hi,
The photos shown in this video were taken with the Agfa Vista 200 which is a pretty cheap colour film. I've also since used HP5+ with remarkable results.
I absolutely love your accent, where is it from?
:) Thank you Megan. It's a mix of a lot of things as I've lived in a lot of places growing up. I'd say it's about 70% British, 10% West African, 10% American and 10% mish-mash jumble-jumble mumbo-jumbo :)
Megan Traynor his mouth
I love it to
And it never needs a battery. It will last till the sun dies out.
Hahaha. Until the machines scorch the skies.
I've got this camera today, just a question. Once i roll the film and press thew shutter button, should i still be able to keep pressing the shutter button once the picture has been taken? Will it ruin the film if i keep pressing the button while not rewinding the film? Thank you!
HassanTDKR
Hi. No, it will not harm the camera.
What was the theme?
Which roll have You used? Which roll this camara require?
Any 35mm roll is fine.
i have that camera!
Whats the film that you used?
simple is best! is not it_? Ww
It sure is.
No batteries are need at all for the camera to fonction ?
No. The camera has a selenium light sensitive cell around the lens, measuring the available a light. There's an ingenious needle mechanism setting the aperture and shutter speed. ALWAYS cap the camera when not in use, to prevent unnecessary aging of the light cell. Once its dead, its dead. Manual exposure will still be possible. I'm a Trip guy till I die!
haha. You better register #TeamTrip quick :) I have a lovely cap on mine. The previous owner either took exceptional care of it, or put it away in the closet somewhere for 35 years.
Awesome. Thank you guys for taking the Time to answer.
I have this one and i need money how worth price this camera?
You can probably get $50 for it on eBay.
Poundland film?????
Agfa Vista Plus 200, AKA Poundland Film :)
Great video
