INTRODUCTIONThe Olympus 35 DC is a 35mm film rangefinder camera made in Japan by Olympus in 1971. BEST SUITED FOR:
PERSONAL NOTESThe Olympus 35 DC is compact, almost like a Minolta Hi-Matic F or a Konica C35, but because of its bigger aperture lens, it's more heavy. The finder is ok, nothing great for a rangefinder. The patch is not clearly visible, you have to get used to it. The focus is not that precise, but it's fast to do. I like the 35 DC, but it has no manual override, you can only shoot in automatic mode. CONCLUSIONThe Olympus 35 DC has a nice lens, but has no manual exposure capability. Even if this is a good camera, I would get something better. PHOTO SAMPLESVERDICT:
