The Olympus XA is a legendary camera designed by renowned camera designer Yoshihisa Maitani. Produced between 1979 and 1985, its compact design does not compromise functionality. The Olympus XA is a fixed lens rangefinder camera that operates via aperture priority that truly is a marvel of engineering.
The camera is equipped with an ultra sharp Zuiko 35mm f/2.8 lens, which is a six-element design and shorter in length than its equivalent focal length. This unique feature classifies it as a 'telephoto' wide-angle lens. The brightness of the lens is impressive with a max aperture of f2.8. The exposure capabilities of the camera are completed with a nearly silent leaf shutter and a simple two-bladed aperture mechanism.
The ISO is adjustable from 25 to 800 via a switch located below the lens. The camera relies on two SR44 batteries, or equivalent, for all functions. Despite its robust features, the Olympus XA is incredibly compact, measuring only 4 inches long and 2.5 inches tall and weighing just 7 ounces without the accessory flash.
Overall, the Olympus XA is one of the ultimate pocket rangefinder cameras available in the market.
