oh man, why did this thread have to come up now, a few days after my olympus ecru was lifted off me at a club? 35mm f/3.5, silly-powerful flash, and a wacko form factor that broke the ice with anyone i wanted to shoot.  looked at replacing it, they run upwards of $400 on ebay cause they were limited edition (20k worldwide), so that's not gonna happen. fortunately they were essentially the same as the stylus epic (the ecru was the proof-of-concept that led to the epic), and those are cheaper and with a faster lens, but not as dooooooooooope.

dorkasaurus_rex posted:dawg, I just checked eBay and there's plenty more of these wacky cameras at semi-reasonable prices to go around. That thing is also bizarre looking. It looks like legos or a diver's camera or something. yeah, there's a lot of play in how much they go for. the last two completed listings went for $150 and $400, which are both too rich for my blood -- especially considering the stylus epic that just showed up in my mailbox. my girlfriend saw it and immediately deemed it my 'soccer mom' camera, which, alright, is kind of a legitimate observation.

so, i just stumbled on a craigslist yashica t4 for $80 and it makes me so happy.   seriously though, if I lose or break it I won't have any qualms about spending whatever it takes on ebay to replace it.

I was dropping off some film at the lab and one of the techs had just been given one of these by a customer (in black): konica offroad, 28mm f/2.8 and what looks like pretty beastly seals and ruggedization. apparently the orange one was marketed in japan at building contractors etc for documenting work sites. it's nowhere near pocketable but i think it would be a boss club/concert camera.

i love having a camera in my hands when i spot one of those photo ops that have a lifetime measured in seconds. Already Bored posted:I'm after a point and shoot with a fast autofocus in low light situations. i was really obsessed with finding the fastest possible lens for my point and shoot, but i've found that a high-quality lens and a powerful flash work better for the point and shoot form factor and snapshot aesthetic (totally subjective statement).

RoflcopterPilot posted:Does anybody know the difference between the yashica t3 vs the t4? I've read some small things but I guess I'm looking for any experience with them. The biggest I could find is the t3 has a 35/2.8 while the t4 has a 35/3.5 which is weird that a newer model would revert to the older lens on the t2. But yeah, anybody play with any of these? I've had several T4s and they are my favorite cameras, the 35/3.5 is an amazing lens. I'm actually selling one in the buy/sell thread, if anyone's interested ... edit:    grumblybear fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Jun 28, 2011 |

RoflcopterPilot posted:One last question about the T4 and I swear I'll leave everybody alone. For those who have used the dateback, is it technically the same camera as the other versions...except with the date imprint? And also, there's no way you won't be able to change the date to anything at any time, or set it to not print right? I tried finding manuals online but couldn't find much. yeah, i have my dateback turned off but you can set it to whatever you want, and yeah as far as i know there is no difference from the T4 and the T4d (which i think is the dateback version?) other than, of course, the dateback.
