It's guess focusing, yes, but with a 35mm that's not a real problem. I never failed an important shot due that. > The XA has a rangefinder, and a terrific 35 mm 2.8 lens. yup, the XA is great, beautiful and cheap. Having owned two, I still prefer the Minox because the lens performs better -for my taste, no sci-fi lab test- in colour separation and sharpness, has support for 3200ASA, integrated skylight filter, the folding cover acts as fortune sunshade fairly good, has a 2x exposure switch (interesting for an Aperture priority-only camera,) and is slightly smaller than the XA. Anyway the XA is a terrific camera with terrific performance, but the minox goes better with me. > If you can find an XA in good working condition, I'd grab it. Sure, I did, and its flash integration is fairly good for a pocketable and old camera. Saludos ----------------------------------------- http://imaginarymagnitude.net/blog/
