AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
OLYMPUS Trip 35, tested and working.
Hello from Japan!
We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world.
Designed by the legendary Yoshihisa Maitani and introduced by Olympus in 1967, the Trip 35 is one of the most iconic compact cameras ever made, with over ten million units produced over its long life. Its sharp D.Zuiko 40mm f/2.8 lens and selenium-cell automatic exposure require no battery, and the famous red flag in the viewfinder warns of insufficient light. A true classic of point-and-shoot design.
Condition: Used — Excellent
Pre-owned, moderate signs of use, optics clear
Serial Number
Please check the photo.
Appearance
The body covering has been replaced with green leatherette by a previous owner, so it is not original. Please check the photos for details.
Optical Condition
Lens: Clear, no issues
Functional
Selenium meter (no battery needed), automatic exposure and shutter work.
Light seals replaced.
Measured Performance
We check these cameras on a shutter tester rather than by ear, and we publish what we measured:
- Light meter accuracy — EV12: 0.4 UNDER / EV15: 0.7 OVER
Negative film has enough latitude to absorb deviations of this size, but the figures are here so you can judge for yourself.
Servicing
This camera was serviced by us before listing:
- Light seals (foam) replaced
Bundled Items
Only what you can see in the pictures will be included in the package.
Important Notes for Used Items
As this is a used item, subtle imperfections may exist that are not individually described.
Shipping
We ship via either FedEx or Japan Post (ePacket), whichever suits the destination and the parcel. With Japan Post your package is handed over to the local postal carrier in your country for final delivery.
We only ship to registered addresses.
We ship within 3 business days after payment.
Customs and Taxes
Parcels are shipped DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid): import VAT and any customs duties are collected by customs or the carrier on delivery, in accordance with the rules of the destination country.
Where import taxes have already been collected at checkout — for example under the EU IOSS scheme for orders up to EUR 150 — there is nothing further to pay on delivery.
Import charges vary from country to country, so please check the rules that apply where you live.
We do not under-declare item values or mark items as "gifts."
Returns and Buyer Protection
Handled in accordance with Catawiki's Seller Terms.
