• Olympus XA: The Perfect Camera to Capture People on the Street

  
  A legendary camera designed by the legendary Yoshihisa Maitani, A pocketable rangefinder, that can easily rival most slrs. The fantastic 35mm 2.8 is one of the sharpest lenses i have used and has some of the best colour rendition i have seen in any camera both film and digital i have ever used.

• The Olympus XA Goodie

  
  We've all heard about the XA series (XA, XA1, XA2, XA3 and XA4) but nothing beats the original, the first invention that made enormous sucession: the Olympus XA.

• Olympus XA-2 The Street Shooter

  
  The XA-2 is a very compact 35mm camera capable of producing high-quality photographs. It features a timer, focus control, and manual ASA settings. Optional accessories include a flash, tripod, and case. It was made during the 1980s. I bought this cute, unloved camera secondhand in the flea market before I knew the difference between an XA and an XA-2. It still turned out to be a competent zone focusing snapshot camera. I carried it in my glove box for several years where it earned some cosmetic scratches to it's revolutionary camshell case but in all that time of extreme temperatures and constant jostling as my car camera it never failed me.

• Olympus XA - Staff Review

  
  A child of the mid-1970s, the Olympus XA is a super-compact rangefinder camera that’s bursting with a lot of techno-wonderful features. A true pocket camera for the discerning photographer. It’s designer, Mr. Yoshihisa Maitani, would not have had it any other way.
