Olympus XA
Local pickup in cologne in 7-14 days
The Olympus XA is a full frame rangefinder with a bright 35mm lens and aperture priority exposure, light weight and small enough to fit in your pocket. This is not the specifications of many a dream camera, it’s those of the Olympus XA – nothing short of a pocket marvel. Designed by Yoshihisha Maitani – famed creator of the Olympus Pen and OM–1 cameras and later also the Mju line – the Olympus XA was launched in 1979. The little camera was widely regarded as an impressive achievement. It has a sharp 35mm f2.8 lens, an ASA dial from 25 to 800 and a flash that can be screwed on or off the tiny camera body. A perfect 35mm camera for daily use.
Condition Rating
Our collection consists of quality cameras. All of our cameras go through an excessive investigation of functioning. This includes testing of the shutter, flash, winder and all other functionalities. We check if there are any signs of fungus or haze on the lens. After investigating we rate our cameras. They fit into 3 categories depending on the state of the exterior.
MINT
Mint condition means that there are no signs of wear and the camera is "like new". Please take in mind that most of our cameras are older than 30 years and accessories like manuals or boxes can show signs of wear after that time period.
NEAR MINT
Near mint condition means that the camera can have some minor scratches or a worn off labeling. In general the camera will be in a good condition with minor cosmetical issues.
GOLD
Gold condition means that there are various signs of wear possible like scratches, dents or paint defects but the functionality of the camera is all tested and will operate a 100%.
EXTRAS
Some condition ratings include extras like "gold+manual". There are 3 different extras (sometimes combined) available. Boxed, Case and Manual. Boxed means the original packaging of the camera. (mostly with matching numbers) Case means a leather poach or another case that comes with the camera. The manual included is mostly in german language due to the location of our shop.
