Thank you for the great info,I recently modified my Trip35 to full automatic in both A and manual mode.
1.remove top and bottom plates
2.peel back leather and remove face plate under viewfinder
3.set camera @ A and cover lens, depress shtter button,raise the red flag,observe the foot or stopper on the lower portion of the red flag fixture,carefully bend it down to allow it to move freely out and back under the aperature ring set at 2.8(manual mode),normally the foot or stopper would catch on the inside of the aperature ring at 2.8 not allowing the red flag to rise and not allowing the meter needle to trap at 1/125 speed.
4.point lens at a light source to move the meter needle out from under the viewfinder,now place a thin strip of tape along the side of the viewfinder,this will de activate the red flag warning in both modes allowing for low light wide open shots at 1/30 speed.
5.if you have a dead meter,remove meter face plate and check for debris obstucting needle movement,if not, carefully align the needle so it traps at 1/125 and place a thin strip of tape on the meter face plate along the right side of the needle to hold it in place.
6.now check all f stops and speed changes in manual mode and A mode
7.now you have 1/125 and 1/30 in both modes,and your choice of f4-22, or leave it on 2.8 or A
8.mod images posted on flickr,Trip 35 group.

Hi all,

Great website with a lot of interesting information.

Today I bought my silver shutter button Trip 35 S/N 1674970 for IDR60,000 or equal to GBP4. All functions is working well and after cleaning it, I load it with a roll of B/W Lucky SHD100 36 exp (GBP0.5).

Best regards from Indonesia
Tommy

Hi Folks,
Excellent website and great useful messages with brillient information, well done.
I bought a Oly Trip 35 for £2 at a boot sale! She had a couple of dents. The bottom plate and using your site I was confident enough to remove it and use some pieces of wood and a small hammer to remove the dent. The filter ring also had a bad dent and again using two pieces of wood, the small hammer and some very judicious ‘taps’ soon had the ring nice and round.
The camera looks gorgeous. She has the silver shutter button and her number is 2426490.
Regards, best wishes and ‘happy snapping’ from a wet, dark and windy England

Great pics, I love the banner the little girl is holding. If I hadn’t peed my pants already I’d have definitely done it after reading that!

On one of the trips up the hill, I remember thinking “That’s a cool looking camera.” Glad I wasn’t hallucinating. My pic must not have turned out, too bad since I was in front.

Comment on Rails to Duluth by Jiggaboo

This is still my favorite night/color photo ever. It reminds me of a table top model railroad, the way the greens look painted. Your exposure technique is sweet.
