My XA rangefinder was 100%.
I never missed my focus;
like I would with my Rollei 35.
I liked that lightness of the XA.
Sometimes plastic instead of metal is a good thing.
The Rollei felt like it was made of lead or uranium.

Likewise. The XA was one of my favorite cameras ever. Once, due to
back miseries making it physically impossible to carry my usual 500 lbs
of camera gear, I covered a news event using only an XA and XA2, and
did a fair job, at that. For years I never left home without it, and
when the light meter finally died and no spare parts available anymore,
I was very sad. Then I moved on.
