I recently bought a tiny Olympus XA rangefinder camera from the late 70s/early 80s. It's a fun little camera and it fits in a jacket pocket, but mine has a couple problems: the rangefinder needs calibrated and some photos display ghosting / double images (see 3rd & 4th images).

I found a Reddit thread about the ghosting issue which suggests that releasing the shutter may be causing the film to advance/reverse slightly: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnalogCommunity/comments/1dg2hx2/solution_for_double_imagesghosting_on_olympus_xa/
