I was so impressed, I traced a cool UK company called tripman that sell original Olympus Trips totally renovated and pimped up in fake lizard skin! Bought one for 50 quid last week, and can't wait to see the results from my first roll of film. Wonderful review!

I agree the trip is a great camera for street work, I can't imagine faffing around with an SLR or a fully-manual rangefinder, when all you need to do on a trip is zone-focus! The great thing about the trip is the growing community around it, as you have discovered. People are modding/decorating them, and flickr has a healthily active group. The future does look rosy for the trip :) Talking of Olympus, thisi could be the first digital camera to tempt me for a while: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/ga/ul/218008109931/inlineimg/Y/olympus_micro_four_third-thumb-450x337.jpg Hi jean, thankyou very much for the kind words.

I have digital and film SLR cameras but for street photography and general reportage the Trip is my favourite; it delivers too. The Trip's small size and light weight means it's always with me whilst my DSLR kit is often left at home. Bought another recently with dark red leather; it's a real eye catcher so people keep coming up to ask me about it and as a result some are now considering buying a Trip for themselves. Long live the Trip and film. :-) I enjoyed viewing these shots; thank you Andrew.

Try finding a Pen half frame these days. Be careful, if you let the secret out you may end up driving up the resale prices on those little gems. Try finding a Pen half frame these days.
