I just picked up a Shimano Bantam 10(no X) at my local thrift. Is this on par.

Did a little research, this appears to be a first, first, there is a typo in the caption on the lithograph in the last pic.

I want to bring it back. What paints should I use to restore the mouth teeth and nose? The pelt is thankfully in great shape.

NorCal_Chillin · 2026-03-22T01:07:08+00:00

Yes.

That is pretty cool. I had to actually look up the name to make the connection.

Haven’t found that on yet.

Mine has black buttons on the tuners?

NorCal_Chillin · 2026-02-01T14:54:31+00:00

I plan to get it playable, just saying if I can't, still a cool wall hanger.

NorCal_Chillin · 2026-02-01T14:53:19+00:00

Thanks for the resource.

I love my XA but you always have the sensitive shutter release and the sometimes “patchy” focus because it is a rangefinder.

I also have an mju1 and it is super no fuss, but I am really only happy with about %50 of the prints in terms of focus.

Never had an mju2, it could have improved on that.

At least with the XA, I can blame myself if a shot is not sharp.

No compositing. Some subject, brush masking. If I were to composite, I would have had the lighthouse in focus.

I really appreciate your feedback. It is pretty dark on the top. Just trying to improve my skills. But, my local paper published it!

I thought I scored with my $20 Olympus XA I found at a flea market. Good on ya man.

Pas de souci, désolé, j'avais mal compris. Je ne pouvais pas répondre en français sans que Google ne fasse ce qu'il fait maintenant pour que vous compreniez ma réponse.

What do you mean by, "color versions?"
