XA is always surprising!

Mine goes with me everywhere. Its razor sharp lens has yet to let me down! Enjoy it. I noticed that you live in Collegeville. I am in Malvern. Would you be interested in a local RF group?

Honestly, the Olympus Epic is a better lens/camera than the XA.

Dan, so is a Leica M7 with a Summicron. It's horses for courses. The XA is a rangefinder, the Epic isn't. Both lovely cameras.

Very nice! I'm always quite pleased with mine. And it looks so little like a 'pro' camera that it is quite easy to use without being paid much attention to.

I miss my old XA 🙂
I keep thinking I should pick up another one.. merely because it was a) so easy to carry and b) was great to shoot with 🙂
But.. I've got enough cameras right now 😀
Nice shots Langdon; too bad that you and Lisa couldn't work things out 😉
Cheers

I love the Malvern area. I used to rent a caretaker's cottage on an estate out in Newtown Square. I will watch with great interest if a local group starts up. I'm doing the single dad thang though, and I very rarely get to step out these days.

Great shots, Steve. I've resisted buying a new XA, but your shots may do me in. 😀
Hey, do you scan your own shots, or do you have them scanned for you? They're great.

Film is the other way
one of the RFF members here "SamtheMan" has been putting up a ton of stuff shot with an XA. GeneW's awesome "Union Station" shot in the RFF book#2 is an XA.

Hey Gabriel...thanks! I'm afraid I'm at the mercy of whatever my drugstore (cvs) chooses to do with my film. I get different degrees of quality from them, but that's ok for my low standards. 🙂 I do a smidge of USM and some straightening/cropping.
I think the xa is going to become something I'm going to feel naked without. So, if you do get another, be warned of having another accoutrement to remember (uhh...keys...wallet...phone...ipod...xa...). I've been forgetting my wallet a lot, while remembering the xa...good but not good at all. 🙂

I've GOT to get a shot of him with his head lit up and smoke pouring out of his mouth. He's very finnicky though, there's a loose wire somewhere.

I like the stable shot most. But all are impressive pics from that camera. I bought an XA once upon a time, but it got "lost" in the mail according to the seller on eb-y. That was back in September 05 and it has never shown up. I may give it another shot.

I like that robot as well. He's very cool.
My new XA is still in my pocket, but I'm only half way through the roll. I got distracted by the pinhole thread....

Two Steve's, Eh? You can sure tell that's a sharp little lens by the detail in the rock. 🙂langdon auger said:
Steve, You managed to pick one up? 😎dazedgonebye said:
I finally ventured out to pick up a couple SR44 batteries for mine at Radio Shack last night, and found the cross referenced number is 303. Now to get motivated and buy some film for it. 🙄

I wasn't planning on it Bruce, but there it was on a table at a camera show...just $35, I couldn't resist.

My Dad got an XA when they first came out. Pretty soon, that's all he used; his other cameras stayed in the closet. When he passed away, I started using it, and love it.
Now I have more than enough cameras, like most of us, but the two I use most are the XA and a Yashica Electro 35. They're both just FUN 😎
