Wanted: Olympus xa

Posted on
  • Hi
    I'm after an Olympus XA will pay a resonable price or trade/part exchange a fuji s1500 or olympus mju 2

  • I also have some leica photografic internationals

  • anyone got one lying around?

  • I have and xa2, how much you wanting to pay?

  • With flash

  • sorry I'm only interested in the xa not xa1,2,3,4
    thanks anyway though

  • they are going for crazy money on ebay right now... guess the secret is out...

  • Got a few Mju-II cameras lying about, really lovely bits of kit.
    What's the kick with these XAs then, they appear to have a very similar lens to the Mju-II, just the previous model?

  • Not sure but http://www.diaxa.com/xa.htm has loads of info... I'm gonna buy one to take hiking instead of my SLR...

  • Theyre very quite and stealthy, the shutter release has a unique 'feel'. I covered the logo and aperture scale on mine with black tape so it looks like a cheap plastic toy. Fits in a coat pocket.
    its not exactly sharp at f2.8 but still usable, just a bit soft. Also have the XA2. The Olympus stylus/mju 1 has better image quality imo, Ive used it more time, only negative is the film advance motor is noisy.

  • I have...
    used XA1 body only, selenium powered, works at all speeds and apertures (like a trip35 in action)
    used xa2 body only, battery powered, works at all speeds
    new in box xa2 + a11 flash
    probably have another xa2+a11 combo someplace :p

    as for going for crazy prices on ebay I sold the other brand new in box XA2+a11 for 99p, I think something had gone wrong with the listing, grrrrrr

  • got an xa+flash if your still looking...
