P&S with 50 mm lens?

[fgianni]

Does such a thing exist? I have a Minolta TC-1 with a 28mm lens, and in the post a Yashica T5 with a 35mm lens, Now if I only could find a pocketable P&S with a 50mm lens I would be really happy, but I seem unable to find one.

Any help out there?

Thanks

Umm Contax G1 with a 45mm/2 Planar? Coat pocket anyway.. Sort of heavy though..
Good question.. Leitz CL with 50/2.5 CV skopar is really small, but far cry from point and shoot.

Yes I thought of the CL with a collapsible 50, and I may end up getting that combo if I can't find a proper compact P&S of that focal lenght.

Contax Tvs - the lens is 28-56 but it's collapsible... and aperture priority...

If I had the money I'd get this one... but for me it's pretty expensive for a P&S

The problem is that usually zoom compact have miserable maximum aperture at longer focal lenghts, do you know what is the maximum aperture at 50mm?

Thanks

the lens is 28-56 f/3.5-6.5 so yes, it is pretty slow... but considering it's a zoom and that you only need one camera and you have 28-35-40-50-56 it's not bad... most average P&S are like 38-80 f/4.5-9...

IIIC or F and collaspible 3.5 Elmar or Summitar. No reason you can not set it up like a P&S.

 

[fgianni]

Is it smaller a iiif with a collapsible elmar, or a CL with a collapsible elmar, and how they compare to a contax T3 in size?

 

[clintock]

Can the elmar safely clear the CL meter arm? To me the IIf shape can fit a pocket better than the CL, but maybe it's heavier. Sadly I have no T3 to compare.

Is 40mm good enough for you? Or do you really require the extra 10mm in focal length?

Pentax Auto 110. tiny SLR with Aperture Priority. do they still make 110 films?

A 35mm folder such as the early Kodak Retina is compact as a P&S, but heavier.
You have to guesstimate exposure, but you get a wonderful Schneider 50/2.

Just have a look at my avatar. The Industar 22 (elmar copy) collapses safely (95% collapsed) on both CL's I owned, stopped by a metal frame inside from hitting the shutter.
