A black trip is a good trip :-)
The only "unusual" thing about this camera is that it is black. As
far as I know, few black Trip 35 cameras were made.
Apparently David Bailey <http://www.davidbaileyphotography.com/> used
it and therefore the Trip 35 gained the 'cult camera' status. (Like
the Konica Big Mini, another 'cult camera' because of Araki and
Hiromix.) Check this vintage ad
