Olympus XA4 Macro
I can't quite believe I'm selling this, but apparently I am. The rarest XA variant, one year only, with a 28/3.5 lens that focuses down to 1ft/0.3m. My example is well-used, with the scars to prove it. Cosmetics are not its strong suit see photos. But the lens is in great shape and it's mechanically good. I replaced the light seals. Does not have the original measuring strap, but I will include my own version, which is not as pretty or clever, but does the job just as well.
The only real issue is that the meter has developed a bit of a problem, in that it reads about two stops lower than it should. In normal use, however, this hasn't been an issue, as you can manually set the ISO up to 1600 (I've covered the DX contacts with electrical tape) and thus can easily compensate for the meter. Metering has been consistent at two stops off. Simply set ISO for two speeds lower than your film and you're good to go.
$99 shipped CONUS via USPS Priority Mail.
