Olympus 35 EC film camera - fully automatic retro

The 35 EC range represents some of the smallest 35mm cameras produced by Olympus. The EC and EC2 are very similar and have a really solid feel. Smaller than the Olympus Trip 35, and take better photos !  

See the gallery for some shots we took with a 35 EC.

They have an electronic shutter (very quiet) and a very wide range of shutter speeds ranging from 1/800 to 4 full seconds, so can also cope with night photography (but use a tripod !). The viewfinder has a display that shows the focus setting (zone), so you just select the correct zone for your subject (same as the Olympus Trip) and the camera does the rest, selecting the right aperture and shutter speed. The lens also has metres / feet distance markings.
They have a very useful shutter lock (on the front) to prevent you accidentally pressing the shutter button.
There is a little battery check orange light on the top and in the viewfinder, that lights up when the shutter button is pressed halfway down to show that the battery is OK.
Photo quality is great, as they have 5 lens elements (compared to 4 in the Olympus Trip).
They take two SR44 batteries, using a pair of adaptors (supplied).

Also checkout the 35 ECR (the top of the range) which also has rangefinder focusing instead of zone focusing.
