Only thing I've got is an Olympus XA.
Truly a masterpiece of design, from the lens to the rangefinder to dust barrier to the transcendal shutter release. A wonderful delight to behold, to be held in your hand.
Sure, the lens isn't SLR quality, but the engineering it took (an f2.8 35mm Zuiko - six elements, five groups) to make it small and full frame. About the size of a 20 pack of durries. The lens is fulla low-dispersion and high refractive glass to squeeze it down - and there's still a quarter inch or so between the rear element and the film plane.
There's some chrome-abb, and it's not tack sharp, both measured on some absolute scale, but for what it is, it's brilliant.
Quiet as a church mouse, too. |
