Olympus 35 SP review - a Leica competitor?

Hi. Looking for a proper Olympus 35 SP camera review—with real photo examples, honest opinions, and a few questionable jokes? You’re in the right place! This 35mm rangefinder is one of the best, sharpest, and most underrated film cameras ever made, and I’ll walk you through everything you need to know.

We’ll cover the buttery smooth yet razor-sharp G.Zuiko 42mm f/1.7 lens, the (maybe) accurate spot metering, and how it stacks up against the Leica M6, Canonet QL17, and Yashica Electro 35. Plus, I’ll show real-world 35mm film photo examples, including some travel photography in Japan.

And yes, buying old cameras isn’t exactly financially responsible—but this isn’t a personal finance channel, right? The Olympus 35 SP won’t cost you as many kidneys as a Leica, but your wallet will still feel it. We film photographers make terrible financial decisions so you don’t have to—wait, you’re probably also a film photographer. Uh oh.

Warning: This video may trigger an uncontrollable urge to buy vintage cameras. Proceed with caution. Comment "Running out of kidneys for cameras" if you're reading this!
