The "35" Series can be grouped into three subseries:
- the I/II/III/IV/V series from 1948-1955
- the S I/S II/K series from 1955-1959
- the LE/LC/SP/RC/EC/ECR/RD/ED series from 1966-1978.
The Olympus 35, Model I was not only the first 35mm film model Olympus made, it was also the very first lens shutter type 35mm camera ever to be made in Japan. It incorporated a fixed Zuiko 40mm/F3.5 lens. The film mask had an unconventional size: 24x32mm instead of the usual 24x36mm.
All models in this series were viewfinder cameras; none of them had a built-in meter.
