XA newbie

I got a friend who is finally getting into range finders. He wants something small and sharp. An XA looks right up his alley...we think. Some questions for newbies...

How do you focus this camera? Neither of us can figure out from the photos online where the focus wheel/lever is.

What are things to watch out for when buying one?

What is a decent price to pay for one?

Anything else that we should know or anyone wants to share with us about the XA? We looked at a XA2 but as far as we could tell there is no manual focus and he wants that.

A trip over to photoethnography didnt answer any of the questions we were asking so im sure someone here can help!

Thanks!
