Features of the Olympus 35 DC

📷 35mm full-frame
🌟 G.Zuiko 40mm F1.7 lens (5 elements in 4 groups) — sharp and bright
✨ Fully automatic exposure (program auto)
⏱ Shutter speeds: 1/15 to 1/500 sec (automatic)
🔆 CdS metered exposure
🎯 Rangefinder focusing (double-image focusing system)
👜 Compact, elegant metal body
🎁 Ideal for portraits, street photography, and daily snapshots

The 35 DC uses a CdS light sensor to measure the brightness of the scene and automatically selects the correct exposure. Just load the battery, frame your subject, and shoot with confidence—no manual exposure settings required.

Focusing is done through a built-in rangefinder: simply align the two overlapping images in the viewfinder until they merge into one. This ensures accurate and reliable focusing, especially for portraits, street photography, and close-to-mid distance shooting.

The fast F1.7 lens delivers excellent low-light performance and beautifully sharp images with smooth rendering. Combined with its automatic exposure system, the 35 DC makes film photography effortless even for beginners.

===== Cosmetic Condition =====

The Olympus 35 DC features a classic 1970s metal body. As it was made over 50 years ago, some small scuffs or tiny marks may be present.
