this super olympus 35sp from my collection is in really great condition…no dings or nicks anywhere!
the camera is fine in every other respect; rangefinder clear and accurate, lens in pristine condition, shutter and iris fine, all other mechs fine also.
the meter works fine in normal mode and new batteries have been fitted. the old light seals were a bit soft and have been changed for brand new guaranteed-for-life material.
it comes with an original lens cap and of course, a FREE film to get you started.
all in all, a very good user’s camera, and one with a simply stupendous lens and metering system.

ME & MY PASSION!
ok, you probably looked at the length of this "about me" page and thought, god, what's wrong with this guy!....does he have to start telling us his life story or something!!? well, youve come here now anyways, so why not hear what im like as a person, eh?
ive been using film cameras for well over 30 years...my first one being the family yashicamat twin lens! over the years, ive both bought sold and collected film cameras...too many to tell the truth!
in fact, ive been buying and selling cameras well before the internet came on the scene, so anything you purchase from me is backed by my self-styled moneyback promise.....if you dont like what youve bought, send it back within 14 days and you get all your money back...no arguments!!
WHERE I STAND ON THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION!
yes, i do use digital as well, but only as a ready-reckoner...i try and take most shots with my simple 2megapixel digicam....if the shot looks good, i pull out my film camera and shoot!
i most defintely do not believe in digital manipulation of photographs....that in my eyes is not photography...its cheating!
WHERE I USED TO LIVE, WHERE I AM NOW & WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO!
i used to live in Ontario, Canada, but moved back to the UK a little while ago (its a long story..!)...but now i'm living in the one place i always wanted to be...Vancouver, BC..the next best thing to paradise on earth!
as i work as a freelance writer as well as other things, i often find hat my work takes me to europe for short spells, so i get to travel a lot...not a blessing, as i just hate long flights!
im a qualified Quality Assurance guy (you know...ISO 9000, auditing, documentation etc) ....99% of my skill-set is transferable so i can handle any admin or documentation-related roles....see you in BC! otherwise, i specialise in ISO 9000 auditing and documentation.
my dream? to have my own thriving camera shop in Vancouver BC, whilst living in the mountains somewhere.....the best of both worlds!
Incredible timing….. just bought an SP with the exact same problem… button has been pushed in. Am hoping to resurrect the problem. Paid almost exactly the same price on ebay. Any tips on fixing the button?
best advice is to leave it…! repairs will cost more than £50 most likely,
so just use the camera without the “spot” function….the one i have for sale
i have used with excellent results, relying on the normal meter readings, not spot.
if you have an olympus 35sp with a completely duff meter, ie meter doesnt read at all, well,
here again, all is not lost….you can still use the camera, by using that old chestnut..the “sunny f16″ rule!
whats that? read my posts where its been explained…somewhere!
Have used the sunny 16 rule to some avail…definitely takes practice. Have used a free app on my iPhone that actually works pretty well. Can spot meter with that. Just feels odd using such modern tech with retro brilliance.
Am pretty keen to see how I go with a spot meter repair. Have done some minor repairs on retro rangefinders. What do you think the risks are? Cheers
