I purchased a beautiful 1970s Olympus Trip a while back, for next to nothing, so thought it only fair I take it to France and give it a work out! I used Kodak Color 200 bought from Poundland for like, a pound
For some of the shots I also took a similar photo with a Sony a100 DSLR, just for a laugh. Let's see if technology really has moved on
# 1 - Olympus Trip
# 1 - Sony a100 with Tamron SP 35-210
# 2 - Olympus Trip
# 2 - Sony a100 with Tamron SP 17/3.5
# 3 - Olympus Trip
# 3 - Sony a100 with Tamron SP 35-210
# 4 - Olympus Trip
# 4 - Sony a100 with Tamron SP 35-210
# 5 - Olympus Trip
# 5 - Sony a100 with Tamron SP 17/3.5 (cropped)
# 6 - Olympus Trip
# 6 - Sony a100 with Vivitar 28/2.8 (saturated blues)
Now as a modern man, I just love the digital output of the DSLR - sharp, contrasty and colourful. But that Olly just produces such wonderful 1970s style photos! _________________ Graham - Moderator

I also like those kind of comparison
So the 40 years old camera is still capable of shooting great pictures compared to nowadays technology. The film colors look warmer to me than the dslr ones. _________________ Happy owner and user of :

Where were these processed? My last roll of colour I had developed at what was supposed to be a specialist lab, was truly awful. My local Ace Cameras did previous film which were not bad at all. _________________ Casual attendance these days |

That's the thing about film. Great results need a perfect processing chain. And all you can do with colour negs or slides is "hope".
With digital you are in charge about the process and can control the outcomes.
With a great cam, high performance film, a very good lab and a high definition (drum) scanner, the results will be amazing.
Still, I doubt that they will be better than, say, with a 5D. Even with medium format you need a virtually perfect chain to beat the 5D shots (probably even the 40D shots).
For me shooting film is fun, expensive but fun.

I got a busted up one for $3. Heh...nearest I can tell, it works...it just needs:
Syrupy substance cleaned off under rewind knob and ASA ring ( )
Viewfinder cleaning
Dent in filter ring removed
New light seals
I don't feel too badly digging into this one, my first Trip If it works, cool...hopefully I can get it back into good-looking condition _________________ Pentax Bodies: K10D + D-BG2 | MX |

It's a lovely little camera alright, really cute I'll try some slide film in it next time
Photos were processed at my local photography shop, in house. I think they use some sort of Fuji machine, not too bothered either way
Someone at work gave me a 35 RC too...just cleaned it up (it had green gunk everywhere and a lot of dust. It now looks superb! I've never used a rangefinder before, so should be entertaining _________________ Graham - Moderator

That was the rangefinder I was initially after. They are really smart and I may still get one. Good lenses!
I loved my Vivitar rangefinder I bought a 2nd one in superb condition. I also have a FED 2 now which has my full attention.
I hope you like the Oly 35 RC. Rangefinders I find very easy to focus and frame shots. Silent and no mirror to cause vibrations allows you to shoot at slower shutter speeds handheld than normally used on an SLR. _________________ Casual attendance these days |
