This is a delightful little camera, and a favourite of mine for close on thirty years. Pleasing to see that others rate it as highly as I do. Incidentally, if you're still wondering, Wemyss is pronounced 'Weems'. I know the place well!
My Konica A4 is now a Rollei 35S. ;^) The difference is staggering! My A4 never got anywhere the quality shown here, and I suspect the AF went outta whack...
Hiep Nguyen yes this actually happened to me when I was testing however I thought it was just a one off, the best thing is to try and open the camera as it is rewound to frame 1 to minimise loss, then go into complete darkness and take photos without the flash up to the frame you were originally at. Hope this helps
It has 2 batteries the big one and a small watch type one. You have to unscrew a door inside camera to change it. Makes sure you change it as this causes it to rewind half way through a roll.
Hey! I was wondering if it's possible to use the flash and the self-timer at the same time. I'm very interested, but I just want to make sure. Thank you.
Hi Matt, just got my big minia4 fews days ago and found out your videos. Really great photos you took!! Can You help me with this: when i press 1/2 shoot button the green light comes up but also the red flash icon, what does it mean with the red flash icon and sometimes a red flower too( when put on close up mode)? Thank you for explanation in advance
ciamnd the battery is a CR123 and the lcd requires a separate battery, similar to a watch battery you can find online. As for film you can put any film in the camera! hope this helps

You might know this already, the strap length should be the minimum focus distance.
those pics are outstanding, great lens

Nice shots, bro
Have you ever had your camera rewinding mid-roll? This just happened to me yesterday. Do you know why or any tips?

If it's not possible, i'm trying to find a good point-and-shoot camera that lets me use flash and self-timer at the same time
Great review. They are a bit temperamental but takes great pics.
Nice video! may I know what's your film type used in this video?

What battery and film do you have to use for this camera ?

A nice touch is separate film and battery compartments. You'll be thankful, because it does eat up those CR123's rather quickly...
Where do I buy one ?
