The Olympus Trip AF mini is the third Amigo amoung\u00a0my Leica Mini and the Minolta Freedom Escort. As I outlined before the three cameras share a lot of internal components Fraternal Twins<\/a>. In fact when you look at the three with there backs\u00a0open they are nearly idestinguishable. The Olympus and the Minolta appear to share the same 34mm lens while the Leica\u00a0has a 35mm lens that has a different coating (Leica fairy dust)<\/p>\n

Now more specifically this camera, the Olympus Trip AF mini has a 34mm f3.5 lens. I found it to produce vignetting on the order of one stop limited to the extreme corners. The lens is quite sharp though and without much distortion. The camera is incredibly light weight but easy to hold with its molded grip area. It has the same flash override as the others and suffers from the same slow startup where the lens extends out in a noisy slow motion mating display. Like the others though it produces results that are much beyond what their plastic shells would have you think.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
