Olympus Trip 35 Film Camera & Zuiko 40mm f/2.8 Lens - Custom Olive Green

Olympus Trip 35 - The Ultimate Point-and-Shoot Icon with a Custom Upgrade
This listing is for a beautifully restored Olympus Trip 35 automatic 35mm zone-focus compact film camera, equipped with the razor-sharp Olympus Zuiko 40mm f/2.8 fixed prime lens. Celebrated globally for its pocketable design, exceptional build quality, and completely battery-free operation, the Trip 35 has earned its status as an absolute legend of street, travel, and everyday snapshot photography.
This specific unit has been given a stunning cosmetic refresh, finished in a premium, textured Olive Green leatherette. It looks beautifully rugged, earthy, and sophisticated while preserving the legendary retro look and feel of the original metal body.
One of the greatest features of the Trip 35 is its high-performance Selenium light meter, which wraps around the front element of the lens. The camera uses this solar-powered ring to automatically calculate exposure, requiring no batteries whatsoever. It handles everything behind the scenes—if a scene is too dark to take a proper photo, a famous red flag pops up in the viewfinder to stop you from wasting film, keeping your shooting completely foolproof.
