Uh oh, I just won two XA-2s by mistake on e-bay!

Did you get one for $7.50 an hour or so ago? If so I tried to snipe you and failed..

I did however win one just now for $15 - with flash and it looks brand new from the auction pics. drat this thread.. I've managed to keep up on the film thread and still not buy anything but read this thread and I'm on ebay looking up film lots and bidding on XA-2s.

Got my XA2 - looks to be in near perfect condition. Shot a roll of 800, paid near 12 bucks to have it developed and the images to be put on CD, cried in the car as I went through the prints and found 1 maybe 2 shots that weren't horrible blurry messes.

Granted everything was shot at night/at a concert and it took me a few shots to realize that I needed to wait and listen for the shutter before moving but still I didn't think I'd be so bad.

I just spent more on developing 3 rolls than I did on my XA2.. Tried a local lab instead of mailing them off to Snapfish (4 bux total for negs/prints + they post them online, ~1 week). Aside from B&W I think I'll stick with Snapfish.
