    A new lease of life.....

    ......for my Olympus XA.I`ve just spent three hours removing all the gunk and resealing it,a job I`ve put off for far too long.
    I`ve put in a roll of Superia 200 so here goes.I know it`s not worth anything like the £100 I paid for it in Jessops S/H maybe 20 years ago,but it`s a little gem.The Zuiko lens is superb.

    Cheers

    That's the tedious part - degunking. Works a treat if you take your time to reseal. I recently did an XA2. Works fine - apart from the back springing open evry now and then! A bit of gaffer tape works wonders in this situation.
    Can't be a***d with a signature.

    I've been using the XA2 more and more-it's superbly pocketable when on the bike, and the results are excellent.
    Especially as it manages without a pop-out lens or other tricks!

    I have in recent months discovered how Lomo like my XA2 is with slide film xprod.
