Cheers man.
Sad to hear the T4 has died!
I sold mine shortly after I got it, both because I also got a T3 and because I figured I would break it quickly given it's fragile nature.. it really is a great camera though!I get your point about putting cheap film through "plastic cameras", though I do see really great images made with exactly these kind of set-ups.
While you do not have much of control, you can often estimate what the camera will be doing, just have to use it in suitable situations (and indeed use some other camera if it doesn't fit).Same with film, basically.
Like that Agfa Vista shot I just posted, there's a lot of great stuff being done with über-cheap Fuji C200 for example...

Love that FUCKERS shot!
My t4 has died. RIP. Your plasticy body endured way longer than I ever expected. And I've found myself with an OM4 on the way. Woop.
I'm once again vowing to stop using cheap film and to stop putting so many rolls through plastic cameras. Yes they're fun and convenient but it's lazy and I'm sick of not getting the shots exactly as I intended because I don't have a great enough degree of control.
