Hi again Frank
Sorry for the delay.
Unfortunately none of my (Danish) brochures give the focus details that you
want. I presume that the middle setting is the same as the marked
all-purpose setting on the XA's focussing scale; 3 meters. The other
settings are probably 1 meter and 10 meters.
Other things that you might be interested in:
Electronic shutter 1/750 - 2 secs
Exposure: programmed from 1/750 at f14 to 2 secs at f3.5
Lens: D. Zuiko 4-element f3.5
By the way, I just won an XA2 and A11 flash in perfect condition on UK *Bay
for 3GBP (4.25USD). Unfortunately I got gouged on shipping; 5.50 GBP, but
sent in a soft envelope (!) with just over 1GBP postage.
Sincerely,
Roger Key
Thanks! If your short on time just the focus details would be helpful.
The battery in this AlL still works good, I guess they last a long time.
Frank
