These are likely the last pictures that I will make from the Olympus X2. The lens is good and I like the zone focus on this camera, but the meter just doesn't work right. I may try taking it apart some time, but I think I'm more likely to look for another example of this camera. I can't really complain too much; it cost me just two bucks, and I think it has earned its retirement.
Even if I don't decide to try repairing this camera, I'll hold onto it as a source of spare parts. When I got it from the thrift store it was missing the pressure plate. I was able to take one from an XA with a mouldy lens and put it in this XA2. The XA also donated the little ballbearing that holds the front open to another XA.
