Olympus XA 1 (rangefinder)

Olympus XA is a very compact slightly module 1980s film camera with aperture priority light meter and rangefinder focusing.

The size of a simple point and shoot this camera works well for those wanting a small pocket camera. The lens is sharp and built really well for its size. Contrast and overall sharpness is impressive seeing the size. 

A wonderful little 35mm, perfect for street photography or everyday use.

Guy Sie wrote this in his review, "Part of the Olympus XA’s legacy is that this camera is considered one of Yoshihisa Maitani‘s masterpieces. He was Olympus’ head of design, responsible for many legendary film cameras like the Pen F, OM-1, and Mju. His design philosophy was to provide relatively inexpensive cameras that still pack an incredible feature-set and high quality into a tiny footprint. The XA really embodies this desire, with high-performance and refined controls in a package that fits in your shirt pocket."

Condition: Camera is high end of B grade and the item photographed is one for sale. Door is a little stiff but works fine. New seals and light CLA has been done.

If you have ANY issues, just reach out, and we will make it right.
