They both perked up when I fired the camera. I didn’t think it was that loud.

Who knows, maybe it will sprout a Farmall.

Cool
Looks good. I had one but gave it away during the christmas party for someone to fix up
The 28mm intriqued me at first. The xa3 with a 35mm is more my style.
Great little cameras!

I would like to have one of these to complement my XA. Thanks for posting the pictures!

Interested to know how you get on with it.

Hi,
They are very good at this, too.
It was a mistake, btw; the shutter being light I fired it too soon whilst lining up the shot. Turns out it's a useful mistake as it shows how it's done by using the lanyard as a measure.
Regards, David

The Xa4 is a top little camera - all the goodness of the XA with even more ease of use, and a great close focus capacity as per the image above.

It's a handy thing, the XA4. Mine underexposes by two stops, so I have to compensate with the ISO setting, but it's not a big deal. I've found the lens surprisingly good, and it's made me appreciate the 28mm focal length, though the auto-exposure-only functionality is not my favorite.
Here's a recent shot on HP5+.

Thanks, Dave. I hadn't found a manual yet (my usual source doesn't have it), and wondered why that lanyard had a dual collored tab.

I'll be running more film through it soon, probably some b&w.

Hi,
Try here: http://www.cameramanuals.org/olympus_pdf/olympus_xa4.pdf Look on page 25 for the lanyard guide.
You seldom see XA4 manuals for sale apart from ones with the camera but I eventually found one at a price I could afford and still eat. The next problem, almost impossible to solve, will be the special adapter for the flash. Luckily I don't like flash or I'd be poverty stricken.

Thanks again, Dave. I guess I got confused as to which camera I was looking up the other night, and totally missed that.

Who knows, maybe it will sprout a Farmall.
LOL. I wonder what you would fertilize it with, steel shavings?
I also wonder how many know what a Farmall is?
Nice photos. I always thought it would be fun to have a 28mm XA, but I have too many cameras now. Still, I do "see" wide more than normal or tele.
