Jason’s workshops notes:

It was a pleasure to work on this camera, especially as it’s incredibly rare to find one with all its original components still intact in the box. Showing minimal signs of use from its previous life, this camera simply needed a thorough service to refresh the internal mechanisms. Now, it operates just like new, ready to be enjoyed once again with all its original charm. The premium price reflects the condition, collectible demand and final year run of the Trip 35.
