    Old Man and the Waitress

    I picked up an Olympus XA2. What a great little camera. I paid $25.00 for it. I shot a roll and this is a scan of a darkroom print. The original is a little sharper than you see here. The XA2 is so small. I am really amazed at the quality, just cock the shutter and shoot. Just goes to show you don't have to have a high end camera.

    Greg,

    I agree with Rick! Classic Americana! Wow! I absolutely love that image. B&W doesn't get better than this IMO!.

    Sweet camera btw!

    Very atmospheric. Those cute little cameras are great for candids.

    Re: Old Man and the Waitress

    Thanks all. It turns out this is the best covert camera I have used, people just don't notice you and if they do don't seem to care.

    Olympus really does know how to make a good compact camera. I'd love to get my hands on an XA, I have a style Epic DLX in my collection. Used it at my brother's wedding as a groomsman loaded with Tri-X.
