Your Best Xa Photos

Does the XA 4 count? An odd little camera with some strange vignetting tendencies, but sharp enough. I haven't tried my XA yet.

Recently picked up an XA, and it's fast becoming my favourite for the convenience. A few favourites from a recent trip to Japan:

i purchased an XA2 on ebay earlier this week. Here are a couple of frames from the test roll. One was taken on a stroll in the neighborhood, the other was a shot my wife took of me to finish up the roll.

It performed pretty well I think. Focusing at a close distance is tricky. I had the odd overexposed frame. Maybe I was shading the light meter or something. I was worried about light leaks since the seals seemed pretty worn, but nothing major was leaking (and I exposed the thing to direct sunlight pretty well).

I get a few hit and miss rolls, some with off focus, other with motion blur, but it's an all round great camera that very rarely leaves my pocket.





 
Oh my is that amazing!!!

Thankyou! Sadly I had to pull apart, and subsequently broke, my XA. I didn't want to loose a roll of film with potentionally good shots, so you gotta do what you gotta do 😎

Here's two photos from that roll of film, "throwaways" I guess, I'm saving the better ones for a project I'm working on. Horrible scan on the first, investing in a new scanner very soon!
