Obviously, it’s worth noting that the price has risen massively in the past 10 years due to popularity and scarcity, I don’t really see the price reducing unless the cost of film simply becomes far too much (this is possible but not likely). Yes, some may be online for more than this, I certainly wouldn’t go above £300 though, often the price can be more from a reputable seller, if you can afford then it’s worth having that element of security when making a purchase like this.

In 2022 the price of the MJU II should be around £175-£250 ($235 – $340) and the price depends on luck, condition, and where you’re buying it from. How Much Should You Be Paying For An MJU II In 2022? If you can forgive that then it’ll be a brilliant film companion for years to come. One of its only letdowns when it comes to function is that it forgets its settings when you turn it off and on. So, to sum up, the MJU II is one of the most consistent, easy-to-use, and high-quality point and shoots out there that thankfully isn’t quite as expensive as the Yashicas or Contaxs of the film world. Yes the initial cost of the MJU II is quite a lot however, if you take care of it then it should hold its value. In a sense, you’ll be saving money, with the number of images that will be in focus compared to a lot of other point and shoots, it kind of saves you from having wasted images. I’d like to note, this isn’t a massive issue but it is worth keeping in mind. This is a common source of annoyance for some MJU II shooters because it can be quite flash-happy, again this is ideal for nightlife but in the daytime, you’ll have to cycle through the settings to find the no flash symbol to ensure you don’t startle someone. That being said, what makes it good on a night out might also be annoying in the day, the camera forgets your settings every time you turn it off and on again which means it always powers up on auto. I’ve found that when shooting this on a night out, it’s just ideal, it’s ready to go at a moment’s notice.
