You forgot to mention the XA1, it is the bottom of the range model with
a 
selenium cell and fixed focus.

It seems that Oly's naming convention for this series was chronological.

The XA came out in 1979, the XA1 and XA2 in 1980, the XA3 and XA4 in
1985.

I find the XA1 is the 'forgotten' model in the XA series, maybe because
it 
is so basic.  And (on eb*y Australia) it is not as common as the other 
models which I think is quite odd.

Has anyone else noticed this?  How often do you see an XA1 for sale
anywhere?
