AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Olympus 35SP in very nice condition overall. Shutter speeds seem to be correct by ear. Lens blades in good condition. Not tested with film. Also the battery for the light meter is missing and not tested. Mechanically in good condition. Comes with a lens cap and similar items.


Olympus produced the 35 SP line of rangefinder cameras from 1969 through 1976. Though somewhat overshadowed early on by the explosive popularity of SLRs, the Olympus SP rangefinder models were sophisticated and high-quality cameras.

Unique among 35mm rangefinders, the SP featured a dual metering system, with both spot and center-weighted readings. Its compactness relative to SLRs of comparable ability remains a strong point in its favor among enthusiasts.

The SP is very small and light, with a tack-sharp 42mm f/1.7 lens of 7 elements in 5 groups. Resolution at all f/stops is outstanding. The lens uses 49mm filters and hoods.
