About this product

Product Information

The Olympus 35 RC 35 mm Rangefinder camera was manufactured in Japan during the 1970s. This company made the 35 RC a staple of many studio sessions, and it can still be useful for owners who prefer a vintage and retro feel. The black and metal appearance delivers a classic look that highlights the case's durability. This camera body is revered by professional photographers, collectors, and enthusiasts. This body has a two-bladed mechanical leaf shutter that allows changes at any time. Switch between the Bulb and 1/500 settings with just the turn of a button. Shutter speeds are 1/500, 1/250, 1/125, 1/60, 1/30, 1/15, and Bulb. Each shutter speed delivers artistic images that highlight different perspectives. Several exposure modes are available for this selection, and these settings can be metered for added practicality and shutter priority. The shutter release adapts to the situations and assists controls, and the aperture may also be controlled through these easy-to-adjust modes. The Olympus brand name is stamped in black on the front of the body and in white on the front of the lens. This camera body is designed for use with different lenses, most notably the Olympus 42 mm f/2.8 E-Zuiko lens that is covered with blue and amber coloring to improve clarity as well as definition. In a departure from other cameras in the series, this model uses commas in place of periods for f stops. The use of a guide number system also helps photographers make quick conversions. Markings are stamped in yellow, white, and orange on the lens and body. On the camera, a center-weighted meter defines image selection, and the CDS bypasses the lens and uses a filter. There is a range of EV 7 to 18, or 1/15 at f/2.8 to 1/500 at f/22. The ASA/DIN range does not go straight through the field and skips some settings. This is a smaller Olympus 35 mm camera with less weight throughout the body. It weighs 14.5 ounces, or 410 grams. The overall size is 4.25 by 2.75 by 1.938 inches, or 109 by 70 by 50 millimeters. It relies on one 1.35-volt mercury battery to power the various features of the 35 RC body. Many common battery models and variations can act as a replacement power source. Removal and replacement options are set in a few quick steps. This Olympus 35 RC device has a self-timer function that gives photographers 10 seconds to establish a shot, and it can be conveniently set with a lever. There are lugs for attaching a camera strap or a similar carrier. A hot shoe is placed on top of the body for automatic accessories, like a flash. Simply slide the flash accessory into place to begin using it. The Flashmatic system ensures the flash will be ready when needed. There is also a 35 RC socket that controls the cable release. You can smoothly attach a tripod in the specially crafted slots on the base.

PERHAPS THE BEST MANUAL FOCUS AUTO EXPOSURE RANGEFINDER
The Olympus 35Rc is Probably The Best Film Camera in the Digital Era, you must be a real pro to miss a shot. * The Olympus 35RC is a classic,ultra compact , manual focus film camera. Your pocket is its home. * It features a super silent low vibrating shutter enabling you to shoot in any place at any distance. * It sports both an Auto Exposure mode and Manual mode. It can work without battery, although the battery seems to last forever. And, both the shutter speeds and exposure numbers are seen in the viewfinder ! * You can aim the camera at any part of the image for getting a specific exposure combination, and re framing, re composing the image by a simple half depression of the shutter release. * By holding the shutter release button to half way position you can compensate the exposure, via the shutter speed dial * Compared to a Leica M7, the Olympus 35RC is held time and again by Ken Rockwell as easier to use, faster and giving practically the same results. * He holds it by far as more reliable and dependable than a Leica, and faster to load, to handle, to focus. * "The Olympus 35RC is a simple camera that just happens to do everything a serious photographer needs. It has nothing to get in the way, and has a superb lens and exposure system that ensures perfect, sharp shots every time with a minimum of weight and fuss." * The Zuiko 42/2.8 lens lens renders superior results. * The Olympus 35RC mechanism is a gem of complexity, durability, high quality materials. Even the electronic cables have stood the test of several decades and will continue to stand for decades to come: it is the sort of camera you got from your fathers and will deliver to your sons. * Find a good sample and you'll never look backRead full review

olympus 35rc
Just got back first roll of film and I was very pleased to say the least! I didn't expect such clear images and great color saturation from such a small camera. The light meter was spot on! So easy to pack around, you hardly know its hanging on your neck. A wonderful gym of a little camera! Highly recommended!

The Olympus 35 RC is My Best Friend When I'm Exploring Ghost Towns.
I love one of my Olympus 35 RC cameras and the other I could easily love too, if the light meter did work. The Olympus 35 RC around your neck is like carrying a plastic toy camera, but the photo quality says something a lot different. I've gone through about 6 rolls of film, every click of the shutter produced perfect images, except for a few occasions where I moved or the subject moved and blurred the shot. Not one photo over or under exposed using 200 and 400ISO films. I'd use my Olympus 35 RC a lot more if not for the cost of processing film. You will fall in love with the Olympus 35 RC. I have a lot of other cameras, but when I go out exploring old ghost towns I want to know the shot is there. I have come to know and trust my Olympus 35 RC beyond even beyond my best digital cameras. I would recommend the Olympus 35 RC camera to anyone, it's uncomplicated and forgiving. Built well but not like hanging a cement block around your neck! Get one if you can find a good one, you won't be sorry.Read full review

One of the classics. I love this camera!
What can I say about this little gem? I adore this camera. It's tiny, quiet and takes great pictures. The first one I bought had a dead meter in it. Not a problem, really, I was a photo major in college for a while, I know what the little knobbies do. The pictures came back startlingly good. as a bonus, if you are careful about loading the film, you can easily get 39 shots on a 36 roll, which is kind of a drag when the negative sleeve pages only hold 35 frames, but with slides it's a good deal. Truly one of the best rangefinders ever made. this one is definitely a keeper!
