Another Olympus joins the fun. An early 80's XA2. This is a wonderful little thing. This is what I really wanted when I bought a junk shop Trip all those years ago. No daft features here. No auto focus. No auto wind or built in flash. Just auto exposure, a feather light shutter release and a great little Zuiko lens. Small, black, solid. Cost next to nothing on eBay. The perfect P&S? I think it might be.

Canon EOS 20D
10s f/11.0 at 100.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I prefer the XA - it has aperture priority!

I always wanted one of these, and an OM4Ti to keep it company :)

I'll be interested to see some pics from this. I still need to load a roll in the Stylus, too!
