Rare Black Trip 35 BOXED with instructions & accessories

Rare black version of the Olympus Trip 35 in lovely condition. Fully serviced and in great working order. Beautifully clear lens with no scratches, dust, fungus or marks. New light seals. Red flag works in low light. 

This one is in nice condition, just a very nice gentle, patina, i.e. minor scuff and marks. Very few of these black versions were built in comparison to the standard chrome version. Not many have survived. 

Serial number 544293. The film pressure plate shows the date symbols B 0 7, which shows that it was built in July 1970.

The camera's original black leatherette is intact and is nice and clean. The black paint is original and we have not touched it up. There are nice signs of brassing on the edges and some general patina, consistent with careful use over the decades.

We have cleaned the camera inside and out, cleaning all of the lens elements and dry-lubricating the shutter and aperture blades. The shutter speeds appear correct (1/40 and 1/200).

A very nice camera for the collector - perfect for everyday use too! You will attract attention as most people would not have seen one of these. We only get these in stock about once a year! (I've kept one for myself of course - my pride and joy!)

Comes with an original Olympus Trip 35 box (tatty), original (nice condition early) pouch and early instructions (tatty) and dealer list.  Fitted with an original rare Olympus Tokyo lens cap and original early Olympus wrist strap. Has our 12-month warranty. Excellent.
