In contrast to Ken's compromised day, I was fortunate to have a good day
yesterday. I was given a pristine Olympus XA, complete with the A11 flash
unit. I just opened up the battery compartment to replace the old batteries,
and found no signs of corrosion. I haven't put film in it yet, still dry
firing it to get used to the control lever and slides.
I downloaded the manual last evening, and read it from cover to cover. I have
a few puzzles left, but I want to try it out as a pocket camera.
Unfortunately, the scanner at my local lab is down for repairs until after the
holidays, so you won't see any immediate images.
Anyone got advice about the XA?
