Olympus XA Flash & F.Zuiko 35mm 2.8

We review and restore all our old silver halide cases in our workshops in Lyon.

This model is an Olympus XA, a very compact rangefinder camera. The first of its name, it stands out from other models due to its manual aperture control with the only lens in the series to open at 2.8. This model is sold with its dedicated flash: the small A11.

Please note: The door can be difficult to close; you need to press firmly and hear a click. The rewind lever is stiff but works perfectly. The camera shows signs of wear.

It has the following features: semi-automatic with aperture priority, shutter speeds from 1s to 1/500s, sensitivity from 25 to 800, self-timer, exposure compensation for backlighting, etc.

Fully overhauled: shutter speeds, apertures, cocking mechanism, shutter release, light meter, self-timer, rangefinder, flash...

Sold with two LR44 batteries for the body, 1 AA for the flash.

This body has a fixed lens:

F. Zuiko 35mm 1:2.8. Please note: Small fungus on the front element.
