Olympus XA2 Review Video

Check out my latest video where my friend and I talk about the Olympus XA2. It is zone focus compact film camera which takes some pretty great photos (as long as you get the focusing right). The compact size makes it a fun camera to shoot with and the flash is a lot of fun.

Check out the vid:

It's a fun camera.

Mint Flash Preview!

The Impossible Project just recently released the MINT flash for SX70 folding cameras. It is a reusable flash bar which attaches to your favourite SX70 camera!

It looks super slick and packs a bunch of neat features to help you shoot your TIP film in the dark or at hip house parties. Here are some key features:

FEATURES

• Extremely compact and light flash unit for your SX-70 camera
• Easy LED display on state of flash settings and energy
• Detailed user manual
• Powered by 2 AAA cells (not included!)

SPECIAL IMPOSSIBLE FEATURES

• This flash allows you to use 600 ASA film in SX-70 cameras, thanks to a special, switchable ND-compensation mode (TOTALLY AWESOME FEATURE)
• Light temperature is optimized for use with Impossible Silver and Color Shade films

It seems a little pricey at $89.99 US plus shipping, which is a lot for us Canadians. :( I am gonna hold out for now but I think I'll be picking one up eventually. I am really intrigued by the possibility of letting you use 600 ASA films in your SX70 without those ND annoying filters.
