Last night at a small folk-music venue a friend of mine in the audience I hadn't seen for awhile came over to say hi at the break and, knowing my interest in cameras, offered me a Trip 35. I said yes, naturally.
I've never owned one but always thought they were pretty nice looking. I've also heard consistently good reports about them. Anyone here use one?

About six years ago I got one, and I recall the prints I got looked quite sharp. That was before I began scanning film, so I don't have an example to show you. I gave that camera away. You have two choices for settings: flash, and auto-exposure. The auto-exposure (selenium meter) worked fine on the photos I took outdoors. I recall I wanted to check the focus at the focal plane to make sure it jived with the distance markings on the lens. But there's no "B" setting. here's some good tips: www.peter-leslie.co.uk/photog.htmlBe sure to show us your results! |

Great link, Scott. I would only consider using a Trip 35 outdoors in fairly decent lighting conditions but that covers a lot of my morning/evening walks so I'm curious to try it out. Might be awhile yet before I actually get it, but when I have something, I'll post the results.

I've got three, but only used one. Can't lay my hands on the pictures though, maybe due to my" heave them in a huge box" file system.

I took possession of it this past weekend. Lovely thing -- mint, in original box and with soft case.  Gene |

Nice camera Gene... For some reason I've always thought that selenium meters around the lens looked pretty cool.
