Olympus Mju II Kit

Product Information

Another important note on the durability of these cameras is that they are considered “all weather” or “splash proof”. The Mju II is weather sealed so that even if you end up getting it a bit wet, the moisture won’t make its way inside of the camera. I should add, on the subject of focusing, that although precision focusing in the case of the above example is maybe a little harder than I’d like, I generally find focusing very good, it rarely misses in “normal”, “snapshot” point and shoot situations. It’s hard, because just like many other point and shoot film cameras, the Mju II is an absolute joy to use when it’s working properly. The problem is that you have no way of knowing how long that will last. Olympus XA. It’s slightly taller than Mju II but considerably heavier at 240g — a difference of nearly 100g/3½oz. XA does not have autofocus or motorized film transport; instead, it houses moving metal components. As we mentioned above, the Stylus Epic has a handful of flash modes that you can select. Those options are: Auto, Auto with Red Eye Reduction, No Flash, Fill Flash, Night Scene, and Night Scene with Red Eye Reduction.

It tends to have issues about as regularly as the MJU II too which is just how it is with old point-and-shoot electrical cameras. How Good Is The Olympus MJU I Lens?All in all, despite having more common issues, the Mju II is still much more reliable than the Mju I, probably due to its age as much as anything. Images Before we wrap up, listen. We’re not bashing the Contax T series, the Mjus, or the people who love them. If those cameras do it for you, buy one and shoot the hell out of it. But there’s no denying that the prices of these cameras are undeservedly high at the moment, and for no other reason than because well-known people have stood on their soap box and decreed that prices should be high. Plenty of point and shoot cameras are small – that’s one of the biggest draws to this type of film camera– but few other models are quite as compact as the Stylus Epic.

I’ll show a couple of shots I took a while ago using the MJU II and I usually just shot with basic Kodak 200 film for film tests. Hey! Just starting out in photography? Read this article to save yourself a tonne of time! How Much Should You Be Paying For An MJU II In 2023? To take pictures, you simply press the large silver button on the top of the camera. If you half press the button and look through the viewfinder then you’ll see a green light if the camera has found focus, the light will be flashing if not or it’ll be orange if it’s low light. The issue is that the Mju II has no way to remember which setting you last used, so every time you open the camera and turn it on, you have to reset the flash mode.Obviously, there’s quite a jump in price when it comes to either of these two point and shoots and while most old heads would complain that current prices make no sense at all, that is where we are right now. These cameras are limited and they’ll only get more limited over time however, I believe recent rises in the cost of film has stunted/reduced the price of film cameras (at least for now), as more people see it as a completely unaffordable pass time. The first numbered XA is smaller than the Mju and T series cameras, doesn’t require batteries, and is a perfect street camera. The XA2 and XA3 offer all of this, plus a combination of a higher degree of user controls. Set film speed, select one of three focus points, and then just point and shoot.
