This is a fun thread, I'm always amazed to see the variety of interesting images people can create with this camera:

Here are a couple more of my favorites:

I realyl like the way the color looks in this image. I need to try some Ektar in my XA.

 

[maggieo]

The XA really does seem to play well with Ektar.

Great shots above! My XA has been an almost constant companion for nearly 30 years, and I love it to bits...

Maggie -- I agree w/ your comment about the XA and Ektar as a good combination; I've had good results using the now-discontinued Kodak 400UC too.

Your photos, especially that last one sure do seem to confirm that. Was that last photo taken in North Beach? The setting looks kind of familiar.

Indeed it was, Maggie, on Columbus Ave., no less. Great stealthcam, the XA! 🙂

More recently, I've been loading my XA w/ fast bw or color film and shooting at iso 800. This allows you to take advantage of the XA's stealth abilities in indoor settings...

I have since sold my XA because I felt it was eating batteries. Watching my photos taken with it I feel a sudden urge to buy it back.

 

[nikku]

Yeah, I'm feeling pangs of regret for having sold mine. I wish the VF weren't so darn tiny and the electronics so prone to failure. It had such a unique rendering.

Oh boy, I'll have to start using mine again.
