Olympus XA2

Description

• Condition and Design: The Olympus XA2 is a classic compact film camera from the early 1980s, loved for its sleek clamshell design and easy portability. While this unit shows minor cosmetic wear—the paint is partially worn off the metal back cover—its functionality remains unaffected.
• Lens and Optics: Equipped with a D.Zuiko 35mm f/3.5 lens, this camera delivers sharp, contrasty images with its 4-element optical design. Its zone focusing system (close, near, and far) makes it beginner-friendly while retaining flexibility for creative compositions.
• Exposure and Features: The XA2 offers aperture-priority automatic exposure, with shutter speeds ranging from 2 seconds to 1/750s. It includes a CdS light meter and supports films with an ISO range of 25-800, making it versatile for different lighting conditions.
• Build and Power: Lightweight at only 200 grams, it’s perfect for street and travel photography. The XA2 requires 2 LR44 batteries for operation. Its feather-touch electromagnetic shutter release ensures smooth operation, while the thumbwheel film winder keeps it compact and easy to use.
