AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This premium vintage Olympus 35 SP 35mm rangefinder camera is one of the most advanced compact analog cameras of the 1970s. It is the only fixed lens rangefinder camera with built-in spot metering.

The camera comes with an original Olympus branded black leather hard case and an original Olympus Tokyo lens cap.

Key features:

• Lens: Legendary, extremely sharp and bright Olympus G.Zuiko 1:1.7 f=42mm.

• Metering: Dual metering system (Center-weighted and 6° Spot metering).

• Shutter: Seiko-FLA shutter with speeds from 1 to 1/500 sec. and B (Bulb) mode.

• Modes: Full manual control and programmed automatic mode.

Condition:
• Aesthetic condition: In excellent/beautiful visual condition as seen in the pictures. Minimal signs of use consistent with its age. The frame and leather are intact.

• Optics: The lenses are clean and scratch-free, no fungus is visible.

• Mechanics and electronics: Fully and perfectly functional. The light meter is accurate, reacts to light, the automatic and manual modes are flawless. The shutter fires accurately at all speeds. The rangefinder spot is clean, bright and focuses well.

The package contents are exactly what you see in the pictures: camera, case, lens cap. I will send it with safe, careful packaging and tracked shipping.
