$3.00 at Goodwill. Also found a Contax T2 for $2.00 once. But this was a result of both luck and compulsive thrift shop camera section checking.

I actually found my T4 in a locked closet that was not opened for years! Popped a battery in it and it started up and worked straight away! All the cash I wasted on junk and then this baby comes along for nothing! :o)

Hi folks. I recently sold a t5 an had it returned as the buyer said the flash was faulty. I checked myself and it seemed ok, not super bright, but still flashes. Is a weak flash a common problem? Thanks for any help. L

Try the one stop shop for all orphan camera manuals:

I've also never seen a camera focused to eternity. That might be quite the image.

After buying a lot of cameras over the years, I literally, and recently, found the T4 and as I have no way of locating the original owner I have no option but to take possession of it. I popped a battery into it and it seems to be working perfect. I am half way through the first roll of film. I cannot find instructions on the web regarding flash settings. I wonder would someone be ever so good as to help me? The settings on the flash are:-

1. Auto
2. Fill Flash?
3. Sun Symbol
4. Moon Symbol
5. Eternity Symbol

Am I correct in guessing that this translates as:-

1. Auto Flash
2. Flash will fire with exposure set for 'no flash'
3. Flash will permanently fire
4. Flash off
5. Flash off and lens focused to eternity.

Your help and correction much appreciated.
Thanks.
