For Sale Olympus XA in box

[Whiteymorange]

Last of this weeks warehouse finds from PHSNE: A virtually untouched Olympus XA camera, with flash, in the original case with its instruction booklet. This is the first model, which many consider the best of the lot. I guarantee it to be in great shape or I'll take it back- no problem.

$55 including shipping in the US. Other places, extra bucks. All proceeds go to the Photographic Historical Society of New England. Paypal fine.

 

🛡️ Classifieds Safety Reminder: Please stay safe when buying and selling. Scams via hacked accounts are on the rise globally.

Yikes!

What a deal. That camera looks to be in beautiful cosmetic shape.

I'm an original owner of the same camera (w/A16 flash). I've taken really good care of mine, but it doesn't look this good.

Somebody needs to jump on this...

:w00t:

Damn. Missed out! My first camera was an Olympus XA given to me by my grandmother when I was 7 or 8, been thinking about getting one again.

The only limiting issue to be aware of with an XA is that there is no diopter correction capability for older eyes. And no real simple workaround that I can think of. I've discreetly DIY-attached a Nikon correction piece to my Canon QL17 GIII, which works perfectly. But I'm still thinking about my XA.
