I really like the MJU expect the price point and the light leak common issue. The camera is compact, easy to turn on&off, lens is sharp.
The slim af is bit lighter than 628 but 628 has bigger grip which is easy to shoot with one hand IMO. I would say slim af's lens is slightly sharper than 628 from what I see so far. Will try to shoot color films with both cameras later on.
If I have to pick one from three then slim af will be the winner. Thank you to who shared their photos took with slim af and my fiancée to let me own this little fun camera. I'm still looking for a fixed focal 35mm slim af
Slim af zoom + Tri-x 400 ( there were 5 photos missed focus for some reasons )
Pheonix does best shot at 100 and dev pulled a stop but if you can't pull, shoot it at 160. It does really well with blues, and home scanning helps too. Lots of labs have real hard time scanning Pheonix.

Such a simple scene but so much vibrancy! Thanks, Ross!
Once upon a time I owned a Linhof Karden Color 45S and still remember laying down a 4X5 Ektachrome on the light table for the first time...
Thanks, Michael! I know that’s a cherished memory you have, nothing quite like beholding the big chromes glowing on a light table! And that was a very nice Linhof. I so wish the Fuji Quickload or Kodak Readyload packets were still being made, I’d jump right back in. I always hated loading and unloading regular sheet film holders.
This is from a test roll of Analog Camera's FP4 Cine film. I've shot two rolls with it in two different cameras. Both cameras have a film window. Numerous negatives have light piping, or light leak, issues. I believe I've narrowed it down to light coming from the film windows and reflecting off of the glossy canister, labels, or the shiny base layer of the cine film. It's a long story, but for now I'll retest and see if I can prove my hypothesis. You can see the faint light leak in the bottom of the second photo. This one was the least offensive of the lot.
This roll was rated at 100 ISO as recommended, shot in my N80 with 50mm 1.4G lens. Developed in fresh XTOL (my first use of this developer) for 11:40 at 68.5 F and scanned on an Epson V850.
The film is very nice and I got 50 rolls of it at ₤2.99 ea. plus shipping. The price per roll is a little higher now due to increased costs for their high quality canisters. I'm saving the canisters and I'll reload with them sometime should the opportunity present itself.
The contrast and detail in the negatives are very nice. XTOL kept the grain small but pleasing.

Wow! Great range and impressive contrast. It would be interesting to see the results from a camera with a solid back. I really don't need any more film but this might be worth a try.
I orderd five rolls. I have been using Adox XT-3 which is their version of XTOL. Should be fun to try!

I've taped up the film windows of both cameras and I'm going to shoot half a roll in one and then switch it to the other and see if that fixes the issues. I'm loving the tones of this film. The parking meter shot was from today with gray skies and it was snowing so some pretty flat light. Still looks fantastic as far as I'm concerned. The black meter just looks great.
