What Was That? by P F McFarland, on Flickr
They both perked up when I fired the camera. I didn’t think it was that loud.

Who knows, maybe it will sprout a Farmall.

Nice photos! That camera looks like a keeper! Don't see the XA4 that often.

Those horses must have excellent hearing. If the shutter on your camera is like the one on my XA2, it's practically inaudible to my ears.

Those XAs are amazing little boxes.

I've never used an XA4; it's wider, right?

Yeah, I would have thought it wouldn't bother them, what with the cars whizzing by on the highway, Nathan.

The XA4 has the 28mm lens, Philip. It is scale focusing, but unlike the 2, it has an actual distance scale. I just need the 1 and 3 to complete the set.

That is indeed a well performing camera. Great stitching job there. I really like the panorama and the horses picture.
Well done.

Whwre are you developing your film?
I have afew rolls of color that needs to be sent out

Thanks, Benny.

I get my film developed at PhotoUSA in Roanoke, Pablo. I don't think they do mail-order, but I can check tomorrow when I go to pick up my B&W roll. There is still one CVS doing film, but I won't go there anymore.
