Olympus XA1 - Ultra-Compact Point & Shoot Icon with Matching A9M Flash
This listing is for a stunning, collector-quality Olympus XA1 35mm capsule film camera, complete with its dedicated Olympus A9M electronic flash unit and fixed D.Zuiko 35mm f/3.5 prime lens. Designed by the legendary Yoshihisa Maitani as the ultimate pocketable snapshot camera, the XA1 is famous for its iconic sliding clamshell barrier design, sleek ultra-compact body, and completely hassle-free operation.
Equipped with a solar-powered Selenium light meter ring surrounding the high-performance 35mm f/3.5 D.Zuiko lens, the XA1 operates 100% automatically without requiring batteries for the main camera body. Featuring a fixed-focus design (everything from 1.5 meters to infinity is crisp and in focus), it is one of the fastest, most reliable point-and-shoot cameras ever made—just slide open the cover and click. It also incorporates Olympus's famous low-light red flag system, locking the shutter button if there isn't enough light to ensure you never waste a frame.
The included Olympus A9M flash is the ultra-slim, lightweight flash specifically engineered for the XA series. It attaches seamlessly to the side of the camera body via a single thumbwheel, creating a cohesive, pocket-friendly setup that gives you reliable fill flash and indoor lighting capability.
Key Features & Specifications
• Type: Ultra-compact 35mm capsule point & shoot film camera.
• Lens: Olympus D.Zuiko 35mm f/3.5 prime lens (4 elements in 3 groups) — sharp, contrasty, and highly vibrant.
• Focusing System: Fixed focus (panfocal) design covering 1.5m (5ft) to infinity for effortless snapshot shooting.
• Exposure: Fully automatic exposure control powered by an internal Selenium cell ring.
• Flash Unit: Includes detachable, ultra-compact Olympus A9M electronic flash unit that attaches directly to the camera side.
• Light Seals: Fully replaced foam light seals to ensure 100% light-tight performance and no risk of film fogging.
• Safety Feature: Low-light shutter lock ("Red Flag" indicator) prevents underexposed shots.
Condition: Near Mint & Fully Serviced
This camera outfit is an exceptionally clean, beautifully preserved example that looks and performs perfectly.
• Cosmetics: Near Mint. The black outer clamshell body is remarkably clean, showing virtually no handling marks, scratches, or wear. The sliding barrier operates smoothly, and the textured surfaces remain fresh and tight. The accompanying A9M flash unit is equally immaculate and mounts flush to the body.
• Light Seals: Freshly Serviced. The light seals have been fully replaced with fresh, high-density open-cell foam. The film door and hinge channels are completely light-tight and ready for reliable use without any risk of sticky degraded foam or ruined exposures.
• Mechanics & Functions: 100% fully functional. The shutter button is soft and responsive, film winds and rewinds smoothly, and the low-light red flag safety system pops up cleanly in dark environments to lock the shutter.
• Flash Unit: Tested and working. The attached A9M flash charges up reliably (with a ready indicator light) and fires in sync with the camera.
• Optics & Viewfinder: Pristine. The 35mm D.Zuiko glass is crystal clear, free from fungus, haze, or scratches. The viewfinder is bright, clear, and comfortable to frame through.
PLEASE NOTE:
• Batteries: The XA1 camera body requires NO batteries to operate (powered entirely by light via the Selenium meter). The detachable A9M flash unit requires 1x standard AA battery (NOT included).
• Accessories: Includes the Olympus XA1 camera body, D.Zuiko 35mm f/3.5 lens, fresh light seals installed, and attached Olympus A9M flash unit.
• Condition: Please see photos for full cosmetic condition.
