PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The XA4 Macro uses the same body as the XA, but substitutes a zone focusing 28/3.5 lens and programmed exposure. It's "Macro" only focuses to 12," but that is a lot closer than the XA's 2.8 feet. While the XA was a best seller and easy to find today, the XA4 is hard to find. In place of the XA's aperture scale, on the XA4 you will find a focusing scale. Notice the large DX film setting label, something new for the time. The XA4 is the classic 8 oz Olympus XA clamshell compact camera with:
a 28/3.5 five element lens instead of the XA's 35/2.8
Programmed exposure from 2 seconds at f/3.5 to 1/750th at f/14Scale
Focusing as close as 12"Full flash compatibility with the XA's A1L, A11, and A16.
Finder warning light when shutter speed is 1/30th or slower -- use tripod or flash.
DX or manual film speed setting (DX films automatically set)
Film speed range 25 to 1600
Self Timer 12 second delay
The XA4 is not well known today, since it was made only for about a year. Today it is quite hard to find and sells for more than any of its clamshell cousins.

Medium Format
Medium format refers to the size of your roll of film (or if you’re talking digital, it’s the size of the camera sensor). It really just means that you are shooting on a bigger piece of film than you do with a 35mm camera. The increased size of medium format film means a much larger negative. This will give you finer details and less grain.
Choosing your Right Medium Format Camera
Twin Lens Reflex (TLRS)
TLRs use two objective lens of the same focal length. The photographic objective lens is the one that is used to take the picture. The other lens, called the view lens, is connected to the viewfinder. Most TLRs are fixed focal length, and the more expensive models may incorporate a rudimentary room function. Most TLRs use a leaf shutter system, resulting in high speeds, quiet operation and low shutter vibration. There are also close-up, wide angle and telephoto adapters for TLRs.
Some popular TLRS cameras are: Yashica MAT-124G, Rolleiflex 2.8F, Minolta Autocord and Mamiya C330
Rangefinder
Rangefinder cameras are medium format cameras with a range finder. This negates the waistline, viewing that most TLRs carry. They are also much smaller than TLRs, and allow for easier point and shoot photographs. They tend to have limited focusing ranges, and do not have lenses larger than 180mm or 200mm. Rangefinders are quieter and easier to focus in dim light. They are mostly fixed lens models, but higher range models also provide for interchangeability.
Some popular rangefinder cameras are: Fujica G690, Mamiya 6/7, Bronica RF645, Norita 66 and Pentax 67
