Olympus 35 DC

Olympus 35 RC, a small 35mm rangefinder with superb set of features

The Olympus 35 DC is the fully automatic sibling of the re-known Olympus 35 RD. Aside from automatically selecting the best combination of shutter speed and aperture for the scene metered by the camera's CdS "eye", the 35 DC has the same body construction, rangefinder assembly, and more importantly, the same F.Zuiko 40mm/1.7 lens as the one on the RD.

To compensate for the lack of control (other than ISO and focusing), this camera has the BLC button on the camera's back. This button if depressed, will narrow the metering to the rangefinder patch, giving the lighting around this area more "priority", thus adjusting the exposure settings accordingly.
