OLYMPUS XA is a very popular old film camera even if we look at how old this camera are.
In this video I will try to show how you can reach the back lens group.
It was very hard for me to actually unscrew the back lens group, and sadly I was not able to unscrew the retaining ring so I could not come in to the very back lens element :( :(
Maybe YOU have a solution for that, please write in the comments below.
