Huss, on the AF slim, are you shooting the 35-70 zoom, the dual 28/48 lens or the fixed 35/3.5? Your images are sharp!
Hey Jon!
Either the 35-70 zoom which is called the AF Slim Zoom, or the original AF Slim which has the 35/3.5 fixed.
I think I mentioned that on my photo captions. I have not tried the 28/48 version and it is very strange that I cannot find a single user review anywhere. One immediate downside of it is it does not have a lens shield to protect the front element, but a clear protective ‘filter’ that is permanently in place. If that is all scratched up from protecting the lens, then the pics will be compromised.
Some on the internet claim the AF Slim is a rebadged Konica Big Mini. It is not, it just has similar styling cues. The Konica can lag while trying to achieve focus as the shutter will only fire if the camera thinks the image is in focus. The Samsung will take a pic no matter what - if you don’t care that the focus confirmation light is lit, neither does the camera. This makes it very responsive.
Also the lens etc is different.
I’ll mention it again, the AF Slim R is not an improved version of the AF Slim, but a dumbed down cheaper version with different lens and shutter.
