Excellent buy! Maybe even a Fang at that price, on the 'bay the XA + A11
combo can fetch $60 or more.
Viewfinder shows probably about 85% of the actual negative area... there are
a couple short lines in the top area that are for parallax correction in
really close-in objects. Lens is a 35mm wide angle, so you will get a good
viewpoint most of the time without worrying too much about things, just
don't park your important subject features at the extreme edge of the frame.
I like the XA enough to have err... ahh... -several- of them. <g>
