vignetting with the XA is barely perceptible at f/5.6, and won't be a
problem at smaller apertures. the rangefinder is not very accurate,
and the lens has a 4-blade, square aperture. they work ok.
I'd probably go with a Nikon 35Ti or Leica Minilux if the price is no
object for a compact camera. Their prices have come down in the last
couple of years, actually. I don't like the Contax T2 or TVS. The Ricoh GR-1
is an autofocus aperture-priority camera with 28/2.8 fixed lens also for $300.
I think the Nikon 28Ti has a better lens, but it costs double too.
