Motor-drive successor to the Trip 35 — fixed-lens simplicity with auto wind.
The Olympus Trip MD is the 1990s motor-drive revival of the Trip name: a fixed-focus 34mm f/4.5 35mm compact with automatic film advance and built-in flash.
It shares nothing mechanical with the selenium-metered Trip 35 — this is a battery-powered point-and-shoot with DX coding, sold in MD, MD2 and MD3 revisions.
Its appeal today is the lomography wave: cheap, light, and lo-fi, it rides the same film-revival demand as other 90s compacts.
Working examples are plentiful; check the flash charges, the motor winds, and the battery door clips — sellers often cannot test with film, so price accordingly.
