The Olympus XA1 is a 35mm camera and is part of the XA series. It was manufactured in the early 80s.
From the outside, it looks very much like the Olympus XA, but the internal values are definitely not comparable to the legendary rangefinder camera. The XA1 does without a rangefinder and aperture priority, has a maximum aperture of f/4 instead of f/2.8, and also gives a honestly cheaper impression from the outside.
The only real advantage, even if only partially, is that it doesn't require batteries. The 35mm camera has a selenium light meter, as known from the Olympus Trip 35. This sets the correct exposure time for ISO 100 or ISO 400 films.
A flash can be connected to the side, but only flashes for the XA series.
The price of the Olympus XA1 with A9M-flasher was 27,800 yen. Dimensions: 10.4 x 6.5 x 4 cm.
