Olympus Trip 35 and Elektra 100 Review on Adventures on Film

olympus trip 35 film photography point and shoot 35mm film

Adventures on Film is Chris Chinnock's photography blog, and it earns catalog space for a kind of review that is harder to find than it should be: one camera, one film stock, one walk, written up with the actual frames attached.

The February 2023 entry pairs the Olympus Trip 35 with Flic Film Elektra 100 and follows a canal towpath at Slaithwaite on a bare winter afternoon. What you get is a practical read rather than a spec sheet. Chinnock shoots the roll, scans the negatives on an Epson V600, and shows you what that combination actually looks like in flat February light. If you are weighing up a cheap zone-focus point and shoot for travel, a full roll from one afternoon tells you more than a feature list will.

The wider blog mixes behind-the-scenes posts on creative projects with subjective camera, lens and film reviews, so the tone throughout is one person's opinion rather than lab testing.

Two trade-offs worth knowing before you rely on it. This is a single roll in a single season, so there are no resolution charts and no comparison against other compacts, and the scans reflect the author's own workflow as much as the film. The title also carries "for Film Camera Store", so read it as a review written for a retailer.
