Olympus mju-II good for a point and shoot?

mpenza · 17th October 2002

It's ultra-compact and has a 35mm large-aperture F2.8 lens... It also has spot metering. Auto Exposure Range: EV1.0(F2.8 , 4 sec.)-EV17 (F11,1/1000 sec.)

Is it comparable to Yashica T4 or T5?

It's a great camera!!

Read about it here. Some folks actually start comparing it with the yashica.

i'm currently looking for a similar model for my other half, the mju-II 140zoom. have to get one before the end of the month. having read the sites provided by mpenza and que lynn, i have a tougher choice now!

how's the mju-II zoom series compared to the simple P&S types? actually, i have a mju-II 115 zoom and all i can say is that the cam has served me really well for the last couple of years now..so i was wondering if the mju-II is good enough without the zoom functions.

well, the mjuII doesn't have zoom functions, but that's not a disadvantage.

it has a faster, brighter lens (35mm/f2.8) than its zoom brothers.

I just bought one mjuII (35mm f2.8) and still haven't finished the first roll. itz very compact and easy to carry. almost am carrying wherever i go. I am very eager to see the result of my first roll in this camera.

hmm....... planning to get one as well. Which of this series have zoom and roughly how much huh?

mpenza · 20th October 2002

only the non-zoom one has a fast F2.8 lens though. costs around $180.

If you are thinking of getting zoomable ones, get the one that starts with 28mm (I think they call it 80w 28-80mm??)

Most zoom able ones starts at 38mm... if that is the case I rather get an A40
