I need to take more care with the viewfinder.

No no no, it's umpteen years old and only cost £1.99, they're obviously rubbish, stop it please

 

[simon ess]

Yep - total rubbish.

And they had the damn nerve to charge me £2.50.

I've half a mind to take it back.

Actually, on second thoughts, I just have half a mind.

 

[trevorbray]

Why not let the digi boys know you can shoot full frame for £2:50.
Results like this show it's worth splashing out...

It is amazing that you always obtain crisp and clean B&W shots and these are no different.I think #2 and 11 are my favourites,but,all round a very good set from your XA2.

^^^^^ That That That

*Looks at display cabinet. Hmm there's a little space just there that..... NOPE NOPE NOPE!!!!!!!

Lovely pix

Thanks everyone.

I think we should keep it to ourselves

Thanks - I try. I just wish weird things didn't happen when uploading from flickr. I'm tempted to save a different version to upload to a TP album before posting. Bit of a faff though.

Oh go on. It's just so cute.

At one time, I had three XA2s, an XA and the wide angle XA4.

I gave away the XA2s, sold the XA4 (bought for 50p - sold for £60!) and now just have the XA.

Try Photobucket.

 

[simon ess]

Thanks. I'll look into it.

I love my battered little 50p XA2! I so mistreat it, but it has given me so much over the past few years. Keep it up Simon, excellent photos there.

 

[simon ess]

I totally understand the love for it.
I'm going out with it again tomorrow.

I've never looked forward to going out so much.

And thank you Paul.

 

[Andysnap]

Mmm, I may bring mine to Stratford, it hasn't really had much of a run out.

 

[desf]

I have my wifes old XA3, it's been round the World a couple of times and works well apart from the frame counter which no longer moves.

Those are excellent sharp scans. I really must work on my technique.

 

[Terrywoodenpic]

What was good then... is still Good.....
Have both an XA2 and XA and for Good measure an original Trip.

 

[joxby]

I just wanna take the grain out...

 

[Vesalius]

Haha! This thread matches my sentiments exactly about an XA2 I bought from a charity shop two weeks back. Absolutely loving using it and the results I've got so far!
(Will probably post a thread of my own in a bit...)

Following on from your needing to take with the viewfinder point, I find I need to be more careful where I put my fingers haha. They keep squeezing into the shot >.<
