# Olympus 35 ED D.Zuiko 38mm F2.8 – Vintage Rangefinder Camera **Serial Number:** 158402 Thank you very much for viewing this classic Olympus 35 ED film camera from Japan. Introduced in 1974, the Olympus 35 ED is a compact 35mm rangefinder camera featuring the D.Zuiko 38mm F2.8 lens and fully automatic program exposure. The 38mm focal length offers a slightly wider perspective than a traditional 50mm standard lens, making it particularly suitable for street photography, travel, landscapes, and everyday snapshots. Its F2.8 maximum aperture provides a practical balance between lens brightness and compact construction. Unlike simple point-and-shoot cameras, the 35 ED features a coupled rangefinder for precise manual focusing, while its electronic exposure system automatically controls the shutter speed and aperture. Positioned among Olympus's classic compact rangefinder cameras, it combines traditional photographic operation with convenient automatic exposure. With its distinctive vintage design, compact body, and classic Zuiko optics, the Olympus 35 ED remains an interesting choice for both film photography enthusiasts and collectors. ## ■ Appearance The camera is in very good cosmetic condition, showing only slight surface scuffs from normal use.
