Olympus Trip 35 Review

[@pdtech4524]

Great video, enjoyed watching, interesting thoughts on the Trip 35. I just picked one up after a long quest to find a good, working one locally at a reasonable price. Looking forward to using it this summer.

[@john_murch]

I'm predominantly a color shooter as well however, today I was shooting B&W (HP5+) to concentrate on composition, light and shadow, minimalism. Congrats on achieving your milestone, love your positive enthusiasm, keep going!...😀

[@michabutkiewicz702]

I was also concerned by this not-quite-closed back but in my case all I had to worry about was this solar lightmeter. As you've said - it will deteriorate with time so make the best out of this little guy while it still works. Mine served me for about a year before started to underexpose too often. I'd recommend setting your ISO 1-2 stops slower frequently.

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank you, I'll cherish it whilst it works!

[@FocalMatter]

Thank for this video, I’ve been on the look out for one of these as I think it’ll be the perfect camera to travel with. The photos you took are absolutely stunning!

[@PippetWhippet]

I’ve had two trips, one given to me by my dad when I was little and one I got recently, last year. Both had that loose door, neither have had any light leak problems.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Classic camera - love the lines in your image at 3:09. Congratulations on 5k+ subscribers!

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank you for your support 😊

[@gregsg01]

The rubber balloon shot is ace :)

[@MadisonBeach]

My favourite :)

[@filmfauxtos]

Congrats on 5k! That tire pic is stunning. I've been struggling to find a Trip for a good price online, the charity shops near me dont often sell cameras

[@wallaceshackleton1889]

That's the camera that I always wanted to shoot but ended up with the Olympus XA2, which is even simpler and a great compact camera.

[@MadisonBeach]

The XA2 is on my list to try!

[@fp4man542]

@@MadisonBeach The XA2 is a great little camera. The electronic shutter button can take a bit of getting used to. I think that I prefer the mechanical button on the Trip.

[@izaguirreeder]

Found your channel recently. Great content! In the past, the film back door being like your camera has been the result of the light seals needing to be replaced.

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank you, and I think that is the problem! will get them replaced

[@naxxtor]

You can replace the light seals, that should help with the wobbly back! One of the things that surprised me the most about these cameras is how sharp the lens can be in the right circumstances. Definitely not your average plastic camera. . . . Also presenting the montage of shots with the music was brilliant, nice work!

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank you Chris, I think you're right! will look into replacing the light seals :)

[@cdl0]

@@MadisonBeach The classic way to fix light seals is to scoop out the old ones with a cocktail stick, cotton bud, etc., and replace with a strand of black wool. Anyway, it is a really nice camera. If the pictures are a bit underexposed, then set the ASA a bit lower than the actual film speed. Colour and B&W negative films are happy with a bit of overexposure anyway.

[@Spencer_White]

Great vid Madison, my fave - love the close shot of the lady on the bicycle with the motion blur in background. 😍😍😍

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank you Scott!

[@kzed0]

awesome photos. i especially liked the architectural detail shots. i think they go well with the b&w :) congratulations for the 5k subscribers! 🎈

[@MadisonBeach]

thank you! Think I'm going to shoot black and white more often..

[@EdwardIglesias]

Congratulations on 5K! Well deserved.

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank you so much 😀

[@YMS137]

Very nice shots!

[@AndersKeisHansen]

A giant well deserved congratulations with the 5k ;) thank you for producing awesome and passionate content!

[@MadisonBeach]

Thanks for all your support Anders!

[@SweetLouPhotography]

congrats on 5k, you DESERVE IT!!!!! Keep slaying bud. Some of those shots were sick! I love the tires. Also, I know you put it down mad gently, but that camera sounded like it was going to leave a crater on your desk hahahahahaha

[@MadisonBeach]

Thanks Dude!

[@heyalexjota]

Cool photos Madison! I specially like that one with a wave crushing. Congrats for the new milestone by the way! :)

[@MadisonBeach]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@PhilKnall]

Congrats on 5k! I like the balloon shot a lot too, but also the first two "industrial" looking ones, the clear lines are really nice.

[@MadisonBeach]

Thanks Phil!

[@twotwofresh]

Congrats on the 5K member's Madison, I have me one of these camera too. Its has a red body, as for the camera door your needs attention is should close with the beat-box effect lol. I didn't find it an intuitive camera as it takes a few shots to get in the swing of things. I like images 3.09, 3.37, 3.39 and 4.54 it would be great to get a 6month update with the Olympus Trip. Have an amazing week #Londonlovesyou

[@ColinBloodworth]

I'm always tempted by this one. Some people have amazing results with them. Looks like you fell into that category :) This track was also a bop by the way!

[@MadisonBeach]

I know, such a tune! haha

[@Al_Bx]

I have one and it's a really great camera. I've only ever shot color on it but this gives me some motivation to shoot b&w. Great pictures and congrats.

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank you, much appreciated :)

[@m.m.neubauer7734]

Hello and thank you. I just get my camera in a couple of days and I’m really exited for it. Thanks for the review

[@MadisonBeach]

Sounds great, enjoy it!!

[@lillyan27]

I just got mine yesterday from ebay！！ i am so exciting and thankyou for the video it does feel someone walked me through all the details！

[@MadisonBeach]

So glad I could help a lil bit!

[@alfredfrome9455]

I was looking to buy this camera after having one many years ago, however current prices have inflated beyond reason imo, but as you say if you can pick one up cheaply I would recommend it.

[@joanmichel]

congrats on 5K! tape is always helpful :)

[@MadisonBeach]

Thanks Joan!

[@cavangriffin1514]

4:07 what a great shot, so impressed with how these came out

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank you :)

[@onnoweb]

Nice!! What a fun little camera.

[@Raysnaps]

I got so excited to see you did a review on the trip 35! I was thinking about using mine again, it’s been collecting dust for far too long. Fun fact: the first time I shot with this camera I used ilford hp5 as well. Great video as always!

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank you!! and I know, theres something about this camera that makes you want to shoot Ilford Hp5..

[@leajardin6448]

I have also a trip 35 and I don't have this issue with the back ! Really nice pictures, I really love this camera :)

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank you, thats very helpful :)

[@gc2161]

very nice photos, some people just have an eye

[@orrinbelcher6593]

Great video fun and informative, great music and photo images, thank you

[@MadisonBeach]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@BillyHopscotch]

Love the tree shots especially 🙂

[@MadisonBeach]

Thanks William!

[@JamieMPhoto]

That's how I feel about the Canonet I got. Not a daily driver, but a really nice camera. I thought the Trip 35 looked nice, but I found the Canonet cheaper faster ... and I like that it's a rangefinder. Still, I've heard great things about it. I enjoyed the BTS montage!

[@JamieMPhoto]

Oh, and congratulations!!

[@MadisonBeach]

oh thats good to know, I've not heard of Canonet, will check it out!

[@itsjonathanwade]

Hey Madison! I love my Trip 35. I also forget to adjust focus A LOT haha. I'm so glad you've discovered this little gem. My Trip also has a bit of 'cushion' or give to it's back so I think it might just be a quirk of it? Thanks for the video.

[@MadisonBeach]

Thanks Jonathon :)

[@donball9777]

You might like the Fed50 as well.

[@underwal2]

Love them all, i thought on buying one long ago but never decided, this may change my opinion. Congrats btw!

[@MadisonBeach]

Yay! Thank you!

[@RobinsBookClub]

5k whoop whoop :) grats :)

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank youuu Robin!!

[@geradebowden3293]

Im always amazed but the exposure accuracy of the cameras meter.

[@LocalFinder]

It's a great photos! I love your channel.

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank you!!

[@andrewbradford5028]

Hi, yes the back of the my trip also feels a bit loose and makes a clicky noise, but it's fine 👍

[@MadisonBeach]

Good to know!

[@ymvni]

do u have any experience of switching to for example the 2.8 mode when its too dark to take a pic on Automatic? I never know if my picture will come out looking good, even though I don’t think its too dark in the moment.

[@igor-korolkov-ua]

I like your photos. I think you need to change lead seals for this camera. This is very easy to do, they are only on two sides: on the right and on the left.

[@AndyCombes]

My Trip has that loose door, never had any light leak problems.

[@hibadahibi7046]

i do own the trip 35 and i have the same thing with the back of the camera and ive shot with it and there was no light leak. i was actually worried that there will be but no so i think its a common thing. and i love the shots btw

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank you! That’s so good to know, I was really worried I was just gunna get a giant light leak haha

[@stevecurrie7939]

Love the channel, came across it via The Old Camera Guy. I've got a Trip and it's really nice to handle but mime is far too unreliable. It's underexposes which is easy to fix by changing the ASA but the focus is misaligned. A lot of people recommend keeping it on the red 3 people icon and most things will be in focus but mine is way off. Shame because it feels really nice to use and I have some lovely images shot on the 2 people icon but it kinda limits me a bit too much

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank you Steve! Thats such a shame, but I think they can be very unreliable pics of kit . I would never have the confidence to shoot the trip for a project

[@bleachlotus]

Great photos

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank you!

i've just discovered your channel and enjoying . + i just subscribed as well .

Hello, I just got my trip 35, but unfortunately my Selliniun is broken can I still shoot outside?

[@mistermars1479]

Congrets for your subs and your good work :)

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank you 🎉

[@FSUvinny]

Can you recommend your favorite film lab in the Brighton area? I tried Clock Tower. I’d like to see if there’s another place i should’ve gone!

[@MadisonBeach]

I'd recommend Colour Stream in St.James street, I've used them for years :)

[@amdesidik305]

Ya i got the funny sound too when pressing the back part...no it isn't originally like that... needs repair

[@jenquest]

My Trip35 film door has a little 'give' but not as much as your one seems to have.

[@MadisonBeach]

Good to know, thank you!

[@philhodgkinson1460]

I bought this camera at a photo show few years ago for £5 they going for silly money...average price now £40-£70 don't pay over £100..... The lens is sharp zuiko lens are good 4 element tessar design... diamond shaped shutter and diaphragm leaves... so if you do get Bokeh at f2. 8 might look odd... there are 10 million of these out there... prob best to load with 400asa film so you can shoot at 1/200th in daylight.... Good shooting haven't used mine for a bit but think I might again.....

[@NeubauerMM]

Thank you for the video. I found one for 7€ and I’m happy too 👍🏻

[@filmbyhari]

Nothing beats a solar-powered, point and shoot camera!

[@MadisonBeach]

I was convinced otherwise until I tried it! Hope you're good :)

[@filmbyhari]

@@MadisonBeach Thanks, really hoping there is another photo walk soon! Hopw you're well :)

Tips and trick to get a perfect pict indoor and outdoor, with trip 35

[@waferab]

Well you could always push it, 400 to 200 or 200 to 100. Worth a try.

[@scottalanphotography]

I liked everything about this video from the review, to the video footage , to the photos you did. I think my favorites are the same as yours. Oh yeah... I also really was into the song. I noticed you have the artist listed but what is the song name? I need to see if I can download that. Would you ship your prints to the U.S. and if so, would you sign it? 😀😜😇😁🙏

[@MadisonBeach]

Yes I do ship to the US! There is no signing option, but i'm sure we can sort it out if you send me an email to [e-mail] The song is called Falling Apart By OTE Ft. Victoria Winderud :)

[@salimaldin4548]

Bangladeshi here 🇧🇩🇧🇩 thank your for helping our community. Love your work 😍 please be consistent, you are so talented. If you come to BD again you're welcome at our house. Love and well wishes 😍😍❤️

[@MadisonBeach]

No problem, I love Bangladesh!

[@SimonFordUK]

Give Ilford FP4 a whirl for less grain.

[@MadisonBeach]

I have since this video and loved it!

[@KaloStoyanov]

No, it's not normal. My Olympus Trip doesn't have it. You can fix it with pliers - you should bend the little hook insides

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank you!

[@uncatila]

I threw a counter offer after a guy with a gold version of the trip 35. I was stunned when He accepted my $25 offer.

[@MadisonBeach]

For real? Thats so good, Congrats! 🎉🎉

[@KC2Lucky]

Generally prefer these underexposed styles of photos

[@MrCookeemonster]

It's hard to focus with this thing, it's frustrating.

[@MadisonBeach]

yeah, its really hit and miss and you only find out after the negatives are developed!
