The Olympus Trip 35 was a well designed camera therefore many faults are fixable. Here are some examples of the many repairs we offer:
Stuck aperture blades & faulty red flag
This is the most common issue seen in an Olympus Trip 35! Oil makes its way onto the aperture blades causing them to stick, this also prevents the red flag from working.
Stuck film advance
A number of small cogs within the camera's film advance mechanism can break if the camera has been dropped or mishandled and stop the thumb-wheel from spinning. This can be repaired by replacing the broken cog.
Out of focus lens
The lens can become out of focus due to the camera being damage or incorrectly reassembled when taken apart. The lens will need to be re-calibrated using a collimator.
Missing parts
Some parts of the camera can break off such as the eye piece for the viewfinder or a camera strap lug. These parts can be replaced on request.
