Thanks to Mr Koopmans for the very nice gift of an Olympus XA2. I had acquired one recently for nothing and it was working fine until half way through it's second roll and then kaput. Seemed the shutter only wanted to stay open for a 2 second exposure only. Oh well. So this is the XA2 V2.0, which I think has a small underexposure issue but its something I can live with.
The XA2 is the perfect pocket camera. Small, quick and sharp images as long as you remember to Zone Focus it. A touch of lovely vignetting finishes the image quite nicely.













Really nice results from that camera and some of those are pretty hard to get right. And it's easy to get film processed for that camera. I like the XA2 better than the XA. I have never tried the flash though.
