For an old camera it seems very reliable. The optics are very good and the shutter range 1/15 _ 1/500 (B option available) is adequate for a pocket camera. Well made all metal construction. Filters are rare 43.5mm but still available from specialist retailers. Light meter used a PX625 mercury battery no longer sold. However an SR44 battery with an adapter (can be found on ebay) will work perfectly.

The camera arrived in a very decent amount of time and its condition was rather mint than any less, everything working properly, shutter speeds a bit slow, about 1/3 stops, AS specified by the seller, body in tip-top aesthetic condition, lens in near perfect estate. Besides some pretty melted/worn out light seals, the entire piece arrived in quite perfect shape, quite a surprise, given its age. Obviously it's been properly taken care of by its previous owner/s. Really happy with my purchase and highly recommend the seller.

Digital photography, it would seem, has opened up photography to the masses. Modern cameras are capable of producing impressive results and photo-editing, once done by a painstaking process of trial and error in a smelly darkroom, can be achieved - even surpassed on a cheap laptop computer. That said, there is an emerging movement to go back to the slow way. Using a camera that makes you think and take your time - a film camera. My camera of choice is the delightfully retro Olympus 35RC. A camera that made its debut in the 1970s designed with the serious amateur in mind. This diminutive camera hosts a lot of features - coupled rangefinder (focus by aligning two images in the viewfinder), fully automatic exposure or full manual control. The lens is a seriously good, sharp and contrasty Zuiko 42mm f/2.8 which is slightly wide for a 'standard' lens on a 35mm camera but pretty typical for this type of camera and is actually considered the perfect focal length for the 35mm format. The 35RC is the little brother to the RD and RC but it's often much cheaper and does a lot of what the siblings do in a much more compact package. It is an entirely mechanical camera - one that is very well built too, that boasts the ability to view both shutter speed and aperture values in the viewfinder - even Leica never did that! Worried about going back to the darkroom? well you could and invest in a cheap developing tank and a good scanner, alternatively use a processing house that will scan your images for you. What to look for when buying an Olympus 35RC: Condition is everything. These cameras are often over 40 years old so always make sure that the optics are clean and most importantly, free of fungus. Corrosion in the battery compartment should be avoided and always try to get an assurance that the camera actually functions before you buy it. Is the rangefinder bright and clear? Does the lens focus smoothly? Does the self timer work? Does the meter work - has it been checked with a battery? Do all of the shutter speeds work? Any remedial work may cost more to repair than the cost of the camera so it pays to select your camera carefully. The other thing to bear in mind is that the light seals, small sections of foam rubber can break down over time. This can leave sticky black 'goo' all over the place and in some cases leak light into the film compartment. Some sellers replace the seals and may also state that it has had a 'CLA' - clean, lubricate and adjust. If you like DIY, foam replacement kits can be bought cheaply on eBay and it isn't rocket science! The original PX625 battery is no longer available but Wein cells offer a simple solution and are sold widely on eBay but have a limited life once the seal has been broken - from two to four months. Avoid Alkaline batteries as the voltage is wrong and their discharge characteristics makes them unsuitable for camera use IMO. In automatic mode, the camera is pretty much idiot proof. It won't let you take a shot where there is too little or too much light. When using a filter, the exposure compensation is taken care of because the photocell is inside the filter ring area. The camera has serious good looks. When you own one, you won't regret it. It is quite a reassuringly heavy little camera. Made back in the day when metal was not only used for the casing but for the gears and cogs inside. Overall, a must have camera for anyone wanting to shoot film with cool retro style!Vollständige Rezension lesen
