XA

So I'm the happy owner of an Olympus XA now. Yoshihisa Maitani's labour of love, this little beautiful rangefinder camera appears to have earned quite a number of fans around the world. (Phew. If that isn't proof of fanboyism, I don't know what is.)

My second camera, and I haven't joined the digital crowd yet. (The third, an Olympus 35 RC, has not seen much light or dark yet.) Nothing against digital (though there's a little prejudice against crowds, yes), I just happen to have this hunch that there still is a lot of unexplored fun in film, especially in B&W photography.
