Can anyone please help me to find a compact camera that I will be happy with? I am wasting far too much of my time googling around and looking up reviews when I should be working.
I'd like a 90's/2000's film compact which costs about 100-150 euro, I am in the process of selling my Contax RTS system because I feel like it kind of got me sidetracked from my original desire when shooting film (to have something much smaller than my 5DII to take around with me and have fun with, but which can still take a good picture in most circumstances, including dim light)
The Contax TVS is basically almost exactly what I want but every single example is living on borrowed time due to the lens cable problem they have, and they're a tad outside my price range. A nice 28mm / 3.5 wide angle to take shots while walking around in low light in the evening, but also 56mm / 6.5 to take moderately good portraits or photograph scenes from a distance in ok light. My MJU II 115 strugles on the other side of 50mm unless it is a completely clear day, and the 38mm wide angle is hardly a wide angle at all.
Oh, and the ability to double expose would be nice. Generally important is not terrible viewfinder, not terrible shutter lag .etc. I'm going to be putting Gold 200 through the camera most of the time, since it's very cheap where I live, but I also want it to be sharp enough that it's worth putting Pan F or Ektar through for special occasions.
I would get a dual focal length camera, but almost all advice online seems to say it's a bad idea because the quality is invariably crap.
Is there anything I'm missing /fgt/? Anything you particularly recommend as being markedly better than the alternatives and within my price range? Anything I should absolutely avoid from my shortlist? Should I just suck it up and get a QL17?
Thank you for your help in advance.
