I found an Olympus XA2 for just $20 at an estate sale — and decided to test it on a trip through Paris and London. In this video, I review the XA2, share my shooting experience, and show the results from multiple rolls of film. The Olympus XA2 is a compact 35mm film camera from the 1980s that’s often overlooked compared to the XA and XA4. But after carrying it through Europe, I think it might be one of the best travel film cameras ever made. 📸 In this video: - Estate sale story: how I found this XA2 + flash for $20 - Size & design: why it’s perfect for travel - How it works: zone focusing, clamshell body, Zuiko 35mm lens - Film choice: Fuji 400 + exposure tricks for daylight & flash - Pros & cons: portability, sharpness, quirks, and limitations - Final verdict: who the XA2 is for in 2025 If you’re into film photography, vintage gear reviews, or travel photo walks, I think you’ll really enjoy this one. 🌍 Follow me for more film photography content: Instagram: @colebki TikTok: @colbki Substack: colebielecki.substack.com email: colebielecki@gmail.com 📷 Gear used: Olympus XA2 (with A11 flash) Fuji Superia 400 My favorite bags to carry my Osmo Pocket 3 and DJI Action 5 Pro: Calpak Luka Belt Bag: https://go.shopmy.us/p-27820602 Calpak Luka Laptop Backpack: https://go.shopmy.us/p-27820711 Chapters: 0:00 The Perfect Travel Film Camera 0:50 How did I come across for $20 1:58 Why I used Fuji 400 Film 2:18 Come check out my SubStack 2:41 Functions and Design of the Olympus XA2 4:28 Pro Tips for better results 5:07 Easy to use 5:26 Pros and Cons of the Olympus XA2 7:34 Taking photos in Notting Hill 7:55 Would I recommend the Olympus XA2? #filmphotography #olympusXA2 #35mm #fuji400
