Now where did I put my XA? :-) - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Bob Keene/Karen Shehade Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2002 3:30 PM To: LUG Subject: [Leica] Re: Leica (OT) Rollei 35 The Rollei 35 is a freaky little camera- I found the Olympus XA to be a better little travel camera that speaks in a more user friendly way: AND you can focus it! I travelled to Alaska, Hawaii, Paris and Australia with a Leica M6, Olympus XA, Eos 1n, and a Fuji GS645s.... In Australia I loaded some slide film in the XA, "just for fun"... best slides I have ever taken! It's a palm sized camera with the flash off; perfect for street shooting from the hip. Understand, I shot lots more with the M6... but I love my XA for running around.
