Fifty years on, reviews of the Olympus Trip 35 continue to rave about this astonishing little camera. At Trip35.co we are dedicated to keeping the legend alive for a new generation of film lovers.

A design classic

Yasuo Hattori's groundbreaking design for the Olympus Trip 35 helped establish it as a camera icon. This stature was confirmed when publishers, Phaidon, featured it in their Design Classics app publicising it all over the London Underground. As they say in their text:

 "There are some cameras that remain in the public consciousness long after they have been discontinued, and...the Olympus Trip 35 is one of these, the beneficiary of a popular advertising campaign featuring David Bailey, which was first transmitted in 1977. Bailey, perhaps the best-known British photographer, still regards the camera as one of the greatest contributions to photography. The camera's distinguishing feature was a circular panel of convex transparent cells around the main lens, which collected light for the selenium light meter. The meter automatically set the shutter and aperture and provided a red pop-up low light indicator in the viewfinder window."
