I don't doubt what you are saying, but what counts for me is that the
effect normally does not show on my shots (may be it's the kind of
subjects I prefer, who knows? - I live far from the sea, too, alas).
Don't know about the XA-4; I never had one and do not feel the need
for one.
Anyway, to me, in direct comparison, the advantages of the XA over the
mju-II far outweigh its disadvantages.
