A favourite of film photographers and a true classic.Frequently asked questionsWhy is the Trip 35 so celebrated?Legendary reliability and longevity - many 50-year-old Trip 35s are still shooting today. Excellent Zuiko lens, battery-free operation, zone-focus simplicity, and characterful rendering. A genuine classic from Olympus's golden age of compact cameras.How does zone focus work?Rather than precise manual focus, you select one of four distance zones (close-up, portrait, group, infinity) indicated by symbols or distance ranges on the lens barrel. At f/2.8 with a 40mm lens, depth of field is forgiving enough that zone focus works well for most everyday subjects.
