One of the most revolutionary camera designs of the 1980s - the XA2 is a true classic. With it's unique sliding clamshell design, and tiny size (only weighs 200g !) the XA2 was designed as the camera you can take absolutely everywhere.  It has fully automatic exposure, so all you need to do is set the focus (only 3 simple settings) and click the shutter.  It is surprisingly good in low light - great for night street photography. The viewfinder is lovely and clear / bright, with a warning light to warn you if light is low. The bottom of the camera has a switch for battery test, and self-timer operation. So simple to use - anyone can take great photos.

The Olympus OM-1 is a very slick SLR with beautiful shutter / winding action and a large, bright viewfinder. It has a meter (operated by the battery) while all shutter speeds are mechanical so can be operated without batteries. It is very easy to use, whereby you simply adjust the shutter speed or aperture until the camera tells you that the exposure is correct via the needle in the viewfinder. It is very easy to shoot with and will really help you to learn about the fundamentals of photography.

A nice example of the legendary Olympus Trip 35 film camera. In good condition, with all functions professionally tested. Meter, shutter speeds, aperture all work fine, and the 'red-flag' indicator pops up when the light level is too low to take a photo. The camera light seals have also been replaced. Some minor marks / dings / scratches as expected, but overall in good condition for the age. We also stock a book: 'Learn Film Photography with the Olympus Trip 35'. Check it out here. Great for learning about photography using this camera.Also check out the Olympus 35 DC, Olympus 35 EC and the Minolta HiMatic E - they have an even better focusing system (rangefinder) and can cope with a wider range of lighting conditions - a great step up from the Trip 35 and some even cost less ! Alternatively if you are after a retro camera with a flash - the Canon A35 Datelux and Flash Fujica are great choices.

The Olympus 35 RC is one of our favourite cameras. Firstly it is seriously compact for a rangefinder but on top of that it offers both automatic in addition to full manual exposure control. In automatic mode you select the desired shutter speed using the top dial and the camera selects the correct aperture.  For manual mode you select both the aperture and the shutter speed for full control. Unusually the manual mode operates completely independently of the batteries so it is always available, and the batteries are just used when the automatic aperture is desired.  It has rangefinder focusing for accuracy and a really high quality lens. There are many internet articles talking about the great quality photos it can take. It also displays both the shutter speed and aperture in the viewfinder. A lovely little performer that feels great in the hand. Camera includes adaptor so that it can run on regular button cells.   Condition:  Very nice example with no major marks, and light scuffs from usage / dulling of the silver finish. Lens in excellent condition. Shutter speeds and meter checked for accuracy.

Exceptional quality, small size and great looks. Produced from 1971, the 35 DC is a lovely compact camera with a top-quality lens. It offers fully automatic exposure, so all you need to do is to focus and shoot. It has the excellent rangefinder focusing system, which makes focusing accurate and fast. The lens has a wide aperture (f/1.7) which means that the camera is great for shooting in low light.  Take a look at the gallery for some example shots taken with a 35 DC. The quality is excellent from the 6-element lens. It also has a back-light compensation button for use when shooting e.g. a person with a light behind them. This increases the exposure to compensate for the light behind the subject.  Features: Self-timer 40mm f1.7 lens Automatic aperture and shutter speed control Shutter speed range from 1/500 to 1/15s Backlight compensation button Flash hot shoe All-metal construction Rangefinder focusing system Viewfinder displays aperture and shutter speed Condition: Body and lens in excellent condition with no major marks
