The Olympus XA2 was honored with the top award out of 2,791 entries in the 1981 Good Design Mark Competition sponsored by the Japan Industrial Design Promotion Association. It was selected as the single item most representative of the ultimate level of precision technology in Japan. Touch it and you'll know why.
It has a high-grade F-Zuiko 35mm F3.5 lens, much easier to build than the complex 2.8 lens of the XA, and the extra half stop is neither here nor there.
Focussing is via a 3 zone system. A lever on the front of the camera is set to one of 3 symbols. When you close the camera, it resets to the "normal" setting. Provided you keep 1.2 metres or so from your subject and it is daylight, just point and click. In poor light use the mountain setting for views or they will not be sharp. This is the only thing you need beware of - your XA2 will do the rest for you.
