" I bought a little Olympus XA at a garage sale yesterday - what a cutie. Everything seems to work, and the rangefinder is bright. The aperture priority adjustment looks simple and lets you decide whether depth of field is important instead of the usual P&S auto everything. With a 35mm f2.8 lens and an extremely quiet shutter, this could be a fun camera. I hope to run a roll through it in the next day or two. Anybody have any thoughts or experience re the XA?
