The Minox was much better. Perhaps they are variable in quality or maybe subject to misalignment if dropped. My wife had an XA which I used pretty frequently. I thought the pictures were very sharp; better than most every pocket camera of its day. No Leica, but still quite sharp. --Jim Dempsey-- jjd@bbn.com
