Yes, but the last ones were made in 1998-1999. Mine expired 1990 so don't even know if they will work. Can't see what that item was Yoko, what did you get?

Olympus 35 ED, looks nice

As Johnny says...
Lens is unmarked, I cleaned up the viewfinder & rangefinder and once I got a battery working, it seems to be firing at the different shutter speeds as appropriate.
The downer is it's battery dependant and auto only.

This looks very sexy. 361929970903

Looks nice, bet it hits at least £40. Film camera prices are rising a lot. Seen some Trip 35s hitting £30+ just lately. A boxed silver button like mine hit £52.

Yep. Still some bargains to be had but in general, asking prices are going up. Minolta SLRs seem to be much more expensive than this time last year.
Any suggestions about getting a lens apart? The Chinon 35mm seems to be stuck solid. Can't unscrew it even with a lens spanner.

I think I have an ECR somewhere. Not sure what the differences are, I know some have a shutter speed selector but that is about it.
Just won this joblot 352003558506 mostly for the Auto 110 flash but noticed the Adaptall mount after I won.

I'm trying to control the GAS. Nearly bought a Mamiya C330 for £100 but someone beat me to it. Am thinking about a 6x9 to take to the Pyrenees in Sept. I think you need a decent lens to get a flat image right to the corners of such a large negative though, a Cooke triplet may not quite cut it. Hmm.

Same here but not doing so well! You taking the bike to the mountains? I have some 6x9s but they are all basic folders.

johnnyrod · 20-03-17, 09:45 PM

Yep, would probably chance my arm with scale focus as I'm thinking of landscapes and small apertures anyway

Can only be one. Trip 35. Just found that my charity shop Trip has a bad case of fungus. =(
