I received an Olympus XA over the Christmas holidays, and finally got a roll 
of film back to see what it could do.  I was concerned about aging of the 
cells whitch control the shutter speed display and the shutter.  >From 
rating Kodak 200 color at 200, 400, and 800, all images were usable, but 400 
appeared best.

Here, the 1979 XA meets a 1946 Piper Cub, which happens to be the same Cub 
that taught me to fly, in 1957.
