Olympus Trip 35

I have a soft spot for Olympus Trips-my first camera that I took my first photographs was a modern 2000s cheap model with fixed zoom but it served me well for years until the day it accidentally took an underwater plunge. Since then I've sought an older Olympus Trip and this one with its ring flash caught my eye.

Agfa Silette

the rewind button is crooked and the focus ring a bit off but I like my Silette anyway, plus the previous owner inscribed her (Sheffield) address on the case- it's hard to date this baby despite Silette's fairly comprehensive history online since this is a pretty classic original Silette 1953 in the body but the lens is...not quite right until 1956 with Silette-L.In any case, I think it's 1950s
