• Some advice please! What are people's thoughts on a Yashica T4 vs. Pentax ESPIO Mini? Does anyone own both? I'm looking to pick one of these up, but am having a hard time picking between the two. I've found a Yashica for £150, but I've also found a Pentax for £45, so apart from the price, what are the pros and cons?

  • Fuck a t4. T3 has the same lens and is £100 less usually. I have one I have used and loved for years.

    I owned T3, T4 and the Espio, sold the T4 and still have the other two.

    Espio is more pocketable. Has a 32mm lens (not a very big difference, but noticable).
    Both are lightweight plastic things, pretty fragile, much more than a T3 or Mju-II.
    Both lenses capable of very good results, maybe the T4 being a bit better if you count hairs.
    I would recommend the Pentax because of the price.
    The only thing bothering me about it is that the AF system has a problem with parallel lines, like shutters, fences, tiles and such - but it's managable.
