Olympus 35 RC. Very Happy


Lens: E.Zuiko 42mm f2.8

I've finally bought it today after I had seen it at a local camera shop some weeks ago. It's in a very nice condition and seems to work properly.
Got it for € 30,- including a new 625 battery.

Can't wait to see the first pictures.

It is about as compact as my Minolta Hi-Matic F, perhaps even a little smaller but if offers manual control! The lens is said to be a very good one.

Congrats, you got an incredible price!!!
I paid the double for mine...
And I've seen even higher bids: Click here to see on Ebay

Enjoy it!, and show us your pictures...
Mine is in the waiting queue, now I'm fixing the Chinon 35EE.

Best regards,
Jes.

These cams have shot up in price! I got both of mine many moons ago
for less than half this, and one had a good battery, both had leather
cases, and one sported a nifty braided leather neck strap! Wink Of
this genre, they are definitely my favorite. If I ever see an Olympus
35RD (has f1.7 or 1.8 lens, can't remember) I'll try snapping it up. The
only one I'm after now is the Konica Auto S3, but they too are way up
there in price, especially the all black models.

I plan on getting both of my Oly 35RC's a new leather coat from
these guys:

Ha! The 35RD has an f1.7 lens, the link opens right to the model.

And here's another thing I'm thinking about getting for at least one of
them:

Lovely - like the Olympus XA but with an easier to use viewfinder and less fiddly controls Smile
