The Olympus 35SP is a 35 mm rangefinder camera made by Olympus in Japan. It is the only 35mm rangefinder with a dual center-weighted average metering and spot metering system. Metering is also available in manual mode, which is quite unusual amongst Japanese rangefinder cameras of this era. It was succeeded by smaller cameras such as the 35RC and 35RD before Olympus pivoted to SLR cameras for the prosumer/professional market.
