Hola, compadres.

I'd love to see some of your best work with the XA. Here's my contribution to the gallery (an oddball since the camera was loaded with HIE film):

 
I hope this thread gets filled with more pictures.

I picked up an XA a few months ago, wasn't impressed with the shots and almost sold it. I held onto the camera and am in the middle of another roll with it. I love the concept and capabilities, but just haven't clicked with the camera yet.

Everything you hear about the XA is true. The lens is soft wide open, the rangefinder patch is prone to fading, and the electronics can fail unexpectedly. It's not a serious camera. No real photographers should use it.

And its awesome. Best startup time ever.













And have you met my friend the XA4?

So I already have the Stylus Epic, but after seeing what this thing can do here on this thread, I am ordering one in the next few days.
