Olympus 35RD, Accessories in Addition to the Camera Body

[timwitt]

<p>How does the original lens cap attach?<br>

Is the same lens cap used with the lens hood/shade?<br>

If the caps are different for lens and hood then what is the difference?<br>

What are the lens hood/shade demensions (depth & diameter) and how does it attach to the lens?<br>

What did the original neck strap look like?<br>

Was there a leather fitted case?<br>

Were there any other accessories?<br>

Thanks for any information.</p>

I have 35DC which is essentially the same lens and it takes a 49mm filter.

<p>I had a 35 RD back in the 1970s. Ordered it from Garden Camera in NY. Very sharp lens and a great little camera. I just didn't like the 40mm focal length.</p>

<p>Thanks to everyone for the comments. I did a lot of searching and reading before posting the questions and more after the post. I have not found any answers. I have a nice 35RD, as usual, it has oil on the blades needing a CLA. The hood is hard to find so I'll probably get a generic metal hood of the same demensions or modify a generic hood to those demensions. Still need the demensions, someone surely has one to measure. I have the manual but none of the questions are answered there.</p>
