Hi Clive,
It definitely has pocketability on its side. Plus the Super (the rest of
the world's T5, I think) has the way cool and useful Super Scope on top.
This is the first camera I had that had a 35mm lense, and I found that I
really liked the perspective or angle of view or whatever it is that a 35
offers. It looks more "normal" to my eye than what is afforded by the 50mm
lenses.
Unfortunately, shutter lag with the T4-Super is bad--something I hadn't
realized until I started trying to take candid snaps of my little boy.
Plus, mine doesn't like 36 exposure films either, so it's 24s or 12s only.
Framing was always hit or miss for me with it also. It is such a nice
lense, though, it's a shame Yashica doesn't come out with a body for it
more like Ricoh's GR1.
