Thanks Marc. One of the handiest and sharpest P&S ever made this is one of
Olympus all-time greatest hits. An SLR lens still has an edge in performance
mainly due to better contrast.
BTW, my camera tech considered the current 35/2.8 Mju2 (Stylus2 in US)
inferior to the XA in terms of optical performance.
