Hasselblad Xpan

[sf_kang]

Anyone here shooting with the Hasselblad Xpan? Apprc some tips / advice as to which body, lenses should I consider if I want to get into 'superwide panaromic' photography.
What's the going price for a good condition body? Prices of the lenses? Where to find them?
Thanks in advance. Fred

I think we have Xpan I and Xpan II, lenses are 30mm, 45mm and 90mm, Hasselblad.
Another option is Fuji TX 1 and TX 2, lenses same as above. Just got my set from Evilbay
TX 1 is champagne gold whereas the rest are in black
The 30mm lens i think is the most ex, am still hunting for one
I think to start off a 45mm will be good unless you want that exceptional wide view

get a xpan 2 if u can, meter reading in the VF. xpan 1 is cheaper than 2, fuji is cheaper than hasselblad.

45mm lens is equiv to 24mm, 30mm lens ~ 16mm, and 90mm lens ~ 50mm.

I picked up a Hasselblad Xpan II with 45mm lens and center filter a few weeks back @ S$4.5k. It's in perfect codition with low shutter count. Seemed aveage price based on ebay but prices (and me) are a bit out of control. I have not yet seen a 30mm up for sale but 90mm seem to run between US$700-900.
good luck
