Ricoh FF-70 vs Yashica T3

[Greyscale]

Wow...I thought FF70/90 is loudest camera I've ever seen.

That was me being dyslexic. I meant the other way around.

Paul, my MT11 is a noisy little beast also. But it is topped in the noise department by my Konica U Mini. But not all Konica compacts are noisy, my Lexio and my MG both wind very quietly.

The rubber grip on my T3 has also faded to gray. And yes, the T3 is weatherproof.

Thanks for confirming that its weatherproof. Try the black restorer on the grip. All car spares shops sell it. For restoring bumpers and rubber trim. Works a treat and the grip on my T3 looks like new, same color as the camera body now.

Could anyone get me a photo of the waist level finder on the Yashica T3?

now this comes a few years late..but hopefully someone will appreciate it.
rescued a Yashica T3 from a junk market yesterday, the waist level finder:

those horizontal lines behind the flowers are blinds, note their distortion
no distortion the other way around

There is a ridiculous price difference between these two cameras nowadays.

I am amazed by the price the T3 is trading, the T4 and T5 are even much more expensive, and their lenses are offered converted for digital mirrorless mounts

So how about that comparison between the T3 and the FF-70 / FF-90?

Has anyone done it?

Had a couple of T3's, they used to be dirty cheap ! Bulky P&S but the lens is nice.
At f2.8 it is nothing special. Also it uses a simple 16 zone AF, resulting in missed focus shots at times.

I have had and sold both cameras now. I think that they are pretty darn close.

Had both, kept the Ricoh.
CR5 batteries drained without use in the Yashica.
No noticeable difference regarding the lens.
