Hi ! I purchased this XA 2 at a local Austrian auction platform last week (with postage, equalling 7,- USD ). I didn`t know that this model was offered also in blue. Looking through some Olympus web-pages, I noticed, the XA 2 was made in white and pink as well. In the mid 1990s I took a lot of pictures with a 1979 XA, which was my grandfathers last camera. He only had three cameras in his long life: a 1931 Leica , a 1960s Zeiss Ikon RF and finally the XA. Does anyone have the white, or pink model ? MIK  |

Nice, a real conversation piece.
I didn't know the XA types came in any color but black.
I have the standard black XA and XA-2 models in great condition but never use them.
They are a very nice little package.

I didn't know they came in any color but black. The XA with the rangefinder and f/2.8 is a wonderful camera--maybe the best of its type ever made.

I have a red, as well as the blue and the black. Excellent camera. I often carry it. Dave

Hi ! I have added a red and a white model, which I came across by accident last week for equalling 20.- USD each. Never seen a red and white one before, so I could not refuse this unique opportunity ;D Here is the red, white and blue:  MIK |

Missed this the first time round. I too did not know that they came in different colours. That is a pretty good looking trio you have there.

I only have the Henry Ford Version XA. "Any color you want, as long as it's black".

MIK, Undoubtedly the very rare Heinz Ketchup model. It never made much impact on the market as it always required a sharp slap on the bottom to get it started. Mickey |

Mickey,

None'll come and then a lot'll

As legend would have that is how we all got our start, as slap on the bottom that is.
