[photo-3d] XA2 focus range

Olympus XA2:
'2 heads' focus range 1m = 3.3 ft. to 1.5m = 5 ft.
'2 figures' focus range 1.2m = 4ft. to infinity.
'Mountain' focus range 2.5m = 8.3 ft. to infinity.
It's a 35mm f3.5, four elements in four groups, very sharp if the ranges
are adhered to.  The light meters on both my pairs don't match very well
when the light gets dim, like after sunset when it's just starting to get
dark.  Otherwise, very nice cameras, both the simple rig that Rocky Mtn.
sold, & especially my Elliott Swanson rig with wide angle & tele
attachments, filter holder, and rocket launcher.
