Olympus Trip 35 with strap!
The 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 is 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. Over ten million units were sold.
The Trip 35 was a point-and-shoot model with a 40 mm f//2.8 lens, solar-powered selenium light meter, and just two shutter speeds. In 'A' mode, the camera operates as a Program automatic, choosing either 1/40 s or 1/200 s. The camera could also sync with flash, and has a range of aperture settings, from f/2.8 to f/22. In flash sync mode, the shutter is set at 1/40 s. Apart from a simple four-position zone focus system, and an ISO setting from 25 to 400, the camera has no other photographic controls. The camera has a Prontor-Compur sync connector and a hot-shoe. Its lens was a coated Zuiko 40 mm f/2.8, with four elements in three groups.
The camera has an ISO range of "only" 25–400, but this was acceptable then, as films faster than 400 were uncommon and not of high image quality. 25 speed allowed the use of Kodachrome, while 400 speed allowed the use of Kodak Tri-X and similar fast materials under low light.
