About the Olympus 35 RC

The Olympus 35 RC, introduced in 1970, is a very small rangefinder with a fixed 42mm f/2.8 Zuiko lens and shutter-priority auto exposure with a manual override. Shutter speeds run from 1/15 to 1/500 s plus bulb.

What affects the price

  • Rangefinder alignment: the double image should merge cleanly at infinity and close up.
  • Whether the shutter fires at every speed. Slow speeds that drag or a shutter that sticks cut the value sharply.
  • Light seals and the mirror bumper: sticky or crumbling foam causes light leaks. Cheap to fix, but buyers price it in.
  • Battery compartment corrosion and whether the light meter still reads.
  • A clean, bright viewfinder with no haze in the rangefinder patch.
