OLYMPUS XA 35mm Film Camera with A11 Flash Unit + 2 New LR44 Batteries.

This camera's working inc. the self-timer, focusing lens & flash.
I did sell this camera the other week but, the buyer pointed out something I did not notice.
The internal light meter needle is inaccurate and does not function as it should, rising no higher than 1/30th even when aimed at the sun.. however, having tested it again when returned I think that the shutter speeds are fine, and well, they seem to fire at speeds relevant to the lighting, for example, when fired indoors [no flash] in dim lighting, the shutter speed ranged from 1/4, 1/2 and 1 second+ etc. Outdoors in much brighter light, it was snapping at much faster speeds for sure so I reckon the aperture's reacting as it should despite the meter reading needle.

The flash 'on' light works yes but sometimes takes a while to light and usually the flash is ready to go after around 10-15 seconds of having been switched on.

Please see all photos which better help any detailed written description for cosmetic condition.
The film door on the rear has some light rusting spots to the finish which, I have gently rubbed with 0000 grade wool to remove any loose particles that were there which has cleaned it up nice, see photo uploaded.
Cleaned and removed is all of the old degraded foam light seals, replaced with new 1.5mm seal which works a treat.
Viewfinder and lens are in great condition, as are both battery compartments.
I will be supplying a AA [not pictured] Duracell battery for the flash unit. Don't forget to remove this from the flash unit if you intend to store it away for a time to reduce any chance of leakage!

Thanks for looking, please ask if you have any questions, 14 day returns welcome if you're not satisfied.. thanks.

How Ebay’s GSP [Global Shipping Programme] works.


A seller lists an item including the correct weight and dimensions for posting / shipping.

The cost to ship this item to the buyer’s confirmed address is then automatically calculated by Ebay.

The seller then forwards the item to the central Ebay warehouse with the relevant reference number. A buyer’s address is unknown to the seller.

The item is then processed by Ebay, updating the parcel with the buyer’s confirmed delivery address with a tracking number etc. and shipped to the buyer.

Any issues with late items and tracking information should be directed to Ebay GSP and not the seller, as GSP will have processed the item from their central hub, details of which, the seller cannot access or enquire about.


IMPORTANT: Please note that a seller CANNOT change the shipping cost(s), added taxes or import costs imposed by the buyer’s country etc. of any listing, the price for shipping seen / quoted at the payment stage is final.


Please also note (for Overseas) that shipping cannot be combined for multiple items, before OR after purchases!
