The Olympus XA2

My photography prospects were not great today. It is still too cold to venture outside, so I will just share another camera from my collection. This is my Olympus XA2 in blue with matching A11 flash. I have taken many pictures with the XA2 over the years, and it is one of my favorite film cameras. I used to carry this thing everywhere in the days before digital and cell phone cameras.

This model is usually found in black, but it is also available in the colors white, red, and pink. These variations are supposed to be rare, but I have not found much information about them. I bought mine used, so I do not know its full history.
