Where is your 24-70?
I have an Olympus Stylus with the f/3.5 lens. It's fun and sharp and I got one off craigslist for $5. It does make a hell of a noise when it snaps though. Click, flash, WHHHHIIRRRR.

Stupid question time, is the A11 flash on an XA at all useful?

Drunk posting from PAX East but, the XA is the most amazing camera I've ever used, God willing the exposure comes out. I was wandering about Boston, and it feels so good to use compared to a DSLR.

Turns out that I miss focus a lot with my XA, I'm pretty confident that it's user error though. Because the first one I got jammed on me after one roll, I'm super paranoid about the fragility of the working one I have now. I freak out a little each time I load a new roll in.

Here's a bunch that look OK web size.

This is a typical scene from PAX and a personal favorite photo from my trip.

I go to my local Ritz. I save up my rolls and have them scanned to one CD and it saves me a little money. Last time I took in two 24 exp rolls with only negatives and CD, and it was $13 done in an hour.

Sams Club was really cheap, like $5 with prints and scanning, but my store sucks at processing. They scratched my negatives on two separate occassions and scanned them all half frame once. So I quit going.

already have to have a membership though.

Being Asian gives us a passive racial ability to be a member, because your mom or auntie signs up the whole family at a time.

Went to a dance party on Saturday and for camera safety brought my Stylus, got some decent snaps. For $10 it's a much sharper image than what a digital point and shoot can pull off.
