Trip 35 is a 35mm compact camera, manufactured by Olympus. It was introduced in 1967 and discontinued, after a lengthy production run, in 1984. The Trip name was a reference to its intended market – people who wanted a compact, functional camera for holidays. During the 1970s it was the subject of an advertising campaign that featured popular British photographer David Bailey.
The Trip 35 was a point and shoot model, with a solar-powered selenium light meter, and just two shutter speeds. In ‘A’ mode, the camera operated as a shutter-priority automatic, choosing either 1/40th sec or 1/200th sec. The camera could also sync with flash, and had a range of aperture settings, from f2.8 to f22. In flash sync mode the shutter was set at 1/40. Apart from a simple four-position zone focus system, and an ISO setting from 25-400,[2] the camera had no other photographic controls. The camera had a PC sync connector and a hot shoe. Its lens was a multi-coated Zuiko 40mm f/2.8, with four elements in three groups.
