Olympus XA Repair

[Born2Late]

I have 2 Olympus XA's that are in need of CLA / repair. Quite a number of year ago, I sent another XA to John Hermanson for repair, unfortunately he unable to repair it.

I wanted to get some fresh references for my repair needs. The only other shop that I am aware of is Zelot Camera Repair.

I would appreciated any feedback and suggestions.

Thanks

XA's and their family tree are tough to fix, especially these days-- a lot of factory techs have retired and parts are restricted to another camera, frequently. Only foam seals are easy to replace. One thing about the XA: if you are concerned about meter accuracy, it pays to shoot a test roll. The XA has TWO meter circuits-- one for the VF display, and one that controls the shutter. They are independent. So if your display meter is all wonky, the camera might still expose accurately. I love my XA, but I think of it as a disposable in terms of maintenance.

Thanks for the feedback; yes test rolls shot and developed.

My meters are accurate, the shutter speeds are in need of adjustment .
