It's pretty nice but for that price I'd rather just get the contax t2 since I prefer that 38/2 sonnar

That being said I'm a hopeless contax fanboy since the 45mm planar on the g2 is just heaven

Ricoh gr1v never

I think there's lots of better stuff for the price and people buy those because while they are really good they're certainly getting harder and harder to find

>>2880985
my nig

I've got an mju-ii as well and they both serve perfect roles

xa is more fun to use though

Anyone crazy enough to use a film compact these days will want a high-end and famous one. Since there aren't that many of them left, demand drives up the price.

>>2880507
>prefer the horrendous edge blur and vignetting

>>2881060
Well like I said mostly due to price. I've seen them go for 250-400 and with the t3 being even more expensive it puts me in a weird spot

Also while I think 35mm is decent I'd rather stick with 21-28mm or 45-50mm after using my mju-ii for a while

While there is a little bit more vignetting it's still fairly easy to avoid and I cannot really see horrendous edge blur

https://www.flickr.com/groups/contax_t2/pool/

I'd really have to compare them side by side because personally my priorities for film compacts can lean more towards size/usability than lens quality. A perfect example of that is mju-ii vs XA

Also I'm a contax fanboy so take my opinion on this with a grain of salt even though I tried to be fairly objective about it

What's a relatively inexpensive compact 35mm point and shoot? I want one to take on holiday, something small I can throw in my pocket.

Mju-ii are pretty expensive now in the UK, which would've been my first choice.

What are the Leica Mini's like?

So what is *the best* compact then? The Contax T2/T3?

I'm thinking of selling some of my gear and investing in a decent compact.

>>2881084
There's like a million really decent compacts so I wouldn't sell your stuff just to get one. The t2 isn't perfect and the t3 is far better but twice the price

What's your price range and what do you want of the camera?

If you look at the compacts that famous people use they're all super expensive. Or at least they've become super expensive because of their popularity.

What are some none expensive alternatives?

Doesn't Juergen Teller use multiple G2s with different lenses on them? I didn't think he used the T2

>using a compact ever

The camera of this phone takes better photos than those shit.

>>2881286
Honestly, truth. Once I got a phone with a good camera my Stylus Epic got much less use.

Still fun to take out now and then loaded with b/w. Shoot/dev/scan same day.

>>2881304
Having a compact is fine but the issue is pointed out by OP >>2880500.
Why spend upwards of $50+ on a film P&S when your phone can take its place not to mention it doesn't need to be loaded with film.

>muuhhh lens
>muuuh zeiss

No one gives a crap especially since you can barely even notice the difference between a photo taken with a zeiss lens or with a camera phone. Spend the money on a better film instead.

>>2881286
the film compacts are faster, for my style of shooting thats what I want

If you're just talking photos of sunsets and your friends than I guess a phone would be fine

>Henri Cartier-Bresson: Leica Minilux

Kind of OT, but it always throws me for a loop that HCB was still around and shooting in the age of modern electronic P&S, and even made it to the dawn of digital. We associate him so much with those grainy B&W images made on the first 35mm cameras that it's almost hard to think of the same guy in an era of autofocus and vivid slide film.

>>2881315
honestly if you can't generally see the difference between a zeiss-shot 35mm slide and a shot from a camera phone, your eyes are fucked

>>2881344
>honestly if you can't generally see the difference between a zeiss-shot 35mm slide and a shot from a camera phone, your eyes are fucked

Not him but the difference is that the shot from the camera phone is of much better quality. Slide has shit tier dynamic range.

Xa is a meme. Half of my photos had a wrist strap in them (until I cut it off), the other half were blurry, all of them were crooked, and maybe 2 were good. It's a nicely built travel camera, but irrelevant in 2016

It was actually taken with
this >>2881339
Pentacks.

for a phone you'd need some sort of grip case with integrated shutter button (w/ half press focus)

the default form factor is compared to a shitty compact

This thread is relevant to my interests. I shoot with rangefinders/SLRs which are great but I need something more compact as an everyday carry/holidays etc.

My criteria:
Compact, small enough to fit in coat pocket
Ability to disable the flash
Sharp, fast, fixed lens (35-50mm)
Black if possible

I don't mind spending a bit extra to get something better but I don't have Contax T3 money. Maybe around £100...

I had no idea they made a Super T3. I bought a Yashica T5 about 4 years ago for about $200. I did kinda fall for the meme, but at the time I as 16, and thought that $200 was a good deal given they were still going for $400-500 (holy shit) back in the day. I love this thing though and all of the terryness that comes along with it. i'm under no delusion that the quality is any better than what XA or Mju can produce, but it's still kinda sexy and exclusive in its own terry way : )

>>2888095
>Meant T4 super D and T3, a T3 always has the scope.

It was late.

I have every XA, the yashica is definitely sharper then any of them. I have no Muji's, they are too meme for me.
