About this camera.

A wonderfully sharp little compact from the golden age of fixed-lens 35mm cameras, finished in a custom brown re-leather that gives this particular Olympus 35DC a real one-of-a-kind look. The 35DC is famous among film shooters for its F.Zuiko 40mm f/1.7 — one of the sharpest lenses ever fitted to a compact — and its simple, fast-shooting programmed auto-exposure system. Drop in a roll, point, focus, shoot.
