The Minilux is super sweet but the T4 seemed always be there for that 'shot'. Reason ? For $150 prob. I don't care if I sand gets into the T4. Also, after obsessive compulsive comparing of negs and slides, it is very difficult to see the difference.. Especially for pocket camera photopgraphy... T4 is actually a bit sharper, but Minilux is slightly punchier/ contrasty. Sorry but true.
