Olympus Trip 35 Review
I review the Olympus Trip 35. The production of this camera ran from '67 to '84 and was one of the most popular consumer cameras of the era. My model is from sometime in the 70's. You can pick these up for a pittance and not only do they look awesome but they also take great pictures.

The Olympus History
Olympus began to study ways to incorporate EE (electric eye, now known as "AE") functions into its cameras soon after the introduction of electrical exposure meters for the photographic industry. This work led to the creation the Olympus Auto Eye, the world's first genuine EE camera. EE functions continued to evolve, and subsequent advances included program AE, auto flashmatic and CdS meters.The Olympus 35LE featured the world's first programmable electronic shutter with a flashmatic function, was launched in 1965. The 1/15-1/500 second programmable EE electronic shutter employed a CdS light sensor. The appropriate exposure could be obtained simply by setting the distance and pushing the shutter button.
