Quite a while ago now my dad gave me his old films cameras, one was a Canon AE1 and the other an Olympus XA. My mum also gave me a modern digital SLR camera so I'm just going to stick to the XA to get a hang of analog stuff for now. Quite pleased to see that there are a number of people here using the XA and are fans of it.
The exposer counter wheel was stuck, so I replaced the batteries as I thought this might have been why and it seemed to fix it temporarily, I installed some new film but it seems to be stuck again and won't go past "S".
I think I read a few pages back about someone replacing the gears for exposure counter?
Oh and also, is the flash on the XA worth having? It kind of takes it beyond being able to fit into a pocket and I just wondered whether it would really be much use.
